Securing an integrated circuit, including fabricating the integrated circuit so that the integrated circuit includes at least one efuse that is intended to be always blown during operation of the integrated circuit and the integrated circuit includes security circuitry capable of blowing the efuse and of performing other security related functions; blowing, by the security circuitry of the integrated circuit, the efuse when power is applied to the integrated circuit and prior to performing any other security related functions; and setting, by the security circuitry after blowing the efuse, a security state of the integrated circuit in dependence upon a sensed state of the efuse.
