1. A method to securely initialize a state of an electronic circuit, the method comprising:
determining, by a processor, of an electronic circuit, trusted state of one or more architecture state registers of an intellectual property core; clearing, by the processor, entries in a memory of the intellectual property core; verifying, by the processor, that state machines, included in execution logic of the intellectual property core, have not generated output by determining whether the trusted state one or more architecture state latches is verified based at least in part on a result generated by a first device of the intellectual property core that is configured to check the state of those architecture state latches, wherein the one or more architecture state latches are vulnerable to state manipulations; and responsive to a determination that the trusted state one or more architecture state latches is not verified, sending, by the first device of the intellectual property core, a signal that indicates that the intellectual property core is not trusted. |
