GRANULATED HARDWARE RESOURCE PROTECTION IN AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM

摘要

A control logic secures access to an electronic system. The control logic comprises an initialization logic and an operational logic. The initialization logic allocates access rights individually among a plurality of hardware and/or operation elements in the electronic system and individually secures the plurality of hardware and/or operation elements with electronic and/or software-activated access. The operational logic responds to attempted access by a user to authenticate hardware and/or operation elements and enable operation of the hardware and/or operation elements upon authentication.
