Integrated circuits for secure data storage and retrieval

An integrated circuit comprising:

• at least one connection node;
• and
• a decrypt circuit electrically connected to the at least one connection node, the decrypt circuit configured to:
• receive an electrical signal indicative of a request to access a data object via the at least one connection node,
• retrieve a plurality of encrypted data fragments stored at a plurality of storage locations,
• decrypt the plurality of encrypted data fragments, and
• reassemble the decrypted data fragments into the data object.

An integrated circuit comprising:

• a plurality of connection nodes comprising at least a first connection node and a second connection node;
• a secure intellectual property (IP) block coupled to the first connection node, the secure IP block configured to:
• receive a data object via the first connection node,
• disassemble the data object into a plurality of data fragments,
• encrypt the plurality of data fragments, and
• send the plurality of encrypted data fragments to a plurality of storage locations;
• and
• a decrypt IP block coupled to the second connection node, the decrypt IP block configured to:
• receive an electrical signal indicative of a request to access a data object via the second connection node,
• retrieve a plurality of encrypted data fragments stored at a plurality of storage locations,
• decrypt the plurality of encrypted data fragments, and
• reassemble the decrypted data fragments into the data object.
