PROGRAMMABLE DATA PROTECTION DEVICE, SECURE PROGRAMMING MANAGER SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS TO AN INTERCONNECT NETWORK FOR AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

A data protection device for an interconnect network on chip (NoC) includes a header encoder that receives input requests for generating network packets. The encoder routes the input requests to a destination address. An access control unit controls and allows access to the destination address. The access control unit uses a memory to store access rules for controlling access to the network as a function of the destination address and of a source of the input request.
