Designing for secure computation and communication has become a crucial requirement across all electronic products. It is necessary to identify potential attack surfaces and integrate design features to thwart attempts to obtain critical data and/or to access key intellectual property. Critical data spans a wide variety of assets, including financial, governmental, and personal privacy information.

The security of intellectual property within a design is needed to prevent product reverse engineering. For example, an attacker may seek to capture firmware running on a microcontroller in an IoT application to provide competitive manufacturers with detailed product information.
