A microchip comprising an internal hardware firewall located between a protected portion of the microchip that is protected by the internal hardware firewall and a network portion that is configured to connect to a network of computers. The internal hardware firewall is configured to deny access to the protected portion from the network. The microchip may also include one or more of a network communications, graphics, video, sound, hard drive, optical disk drive and flash memory component in the network portion and one or many microprocessors that are not network communications components and are in the network portion and are separate from the internal hardware firewall. The location of the internal hardware firewall permits unrestricted access by the network to the network portion so that processing operations other than network communications and firewall operations conducted by the microchip with the network are executed by the microprocessors in the network portion. |
