ASIC Identity Auto-Provisioning

A method to authenticate a hardware component of a system, comprising:

• performing a verification process to determine whether the hardware component is authorized to run on the system, wherein the hardware component comprises:
• at least one electronic fuse configured to store a hash of a data package;
• and
• a memory configured to store the data package, wherein the data package comprises a field indicating the hash;
• wherein performing the verification process comprises:
• receiving a signed response comprising a random value (K) from the hardware component;
• receiving the data package from the hardware component, wherein the data package comprises a first serial number associated with the hardware component and a first system number associated with the system;
• and
• decrypting the signed response to verify a value of the random value (K).

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that are configured, when executed by a processor, to:

• perform a verification process to determine whether a hardware component is authorized to run on a system, wherein the hardware component comprises:
• at least one electronic fuse configured to store a hash of a data package;
• and
• a memory configured to store the data package, wherein the data package comprises a field indicating the hash;
• wherein performing the verification process comprises:
• receiving a signed response comprising a random value (K) from the hardware component;
• receiving the data package from the hardware component, wherein the data package comprises a first serial number associated with the hardware component and a first system number associated with the system;
• and
• decrypting the signed response to verify a value of the random value (K).
