Managing privileges of different entities for an integrated circuit

A method comprising:

• identifying, by a processing device, information being stored in a memory that is associated with an integrated circuit and specifying one or more privileges assigned to a first entity and one or more privileges assigned to a root entity that has authority to manage or configure the integrated circuit during a manufacturing lifecycle of the integrated circuit;
• receiving, by the processing device, a request associated with the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity, each of the one or more privileges corresponding to an operation of the integrated circuit, wherein the request comprises a revocation of the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity;
• and
• programing, by the processing device, the memory to modify the information being stored in the memory that is associated with the integrated circuit in response to the request associated with the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity.

A system comprising:

• a plurality of components in an integrated circuit to perform a plurality of operations;
• a memory to store information associated with a plurality of privileges for a plurality of entities to have the plurality of components perform the plurality of operations at least during a manufacturing lifecycle of the integrated circuit;
• and
• a security manager in the integrated circuit, comprising a processor and operatively coupled with the memory, to:
• identify information being stored in a memory that is associated with an integrated circuit and specifying one or more privileges assigned to a first entity and one or more privileges assigned to a root entity that has authority to manage or configure the integrated circuit during a manufacturing lifecycle of the integrated circuit;
• receive a request associated with the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity, each of the one or more privileges corresponding to an operation of the integrated circuit, wherein the request comprises a revocation of the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity;
• and
• program the memory to modify the information being stored in the memory that is associated with the integrated circuit in response to the request associated with the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including data that, when accessed by a processing device of an integrated circuit, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• identify information being stored in a memory that is associated with an integrated circuit and specifying one or more privileges assigned to a first entity and one or more privileges assigned to a root entity that has authority to manage or configure the integrated circuit during a manufacturing lifecycle of the integrated circuit;
• receive a request associated with the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity, each of the one or more privileges corresponding to an operation of the integrated circuit, wherein the request comprises a revocation of the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity;
• and
• program the memory to modify the information being stored in the memory that is associated with the integrated circuit in response to the request associated with the one or more privileges assigned to at least one of the root entity or the first entity.
