Split-key access of an integrated circuit with a hardware Root of Trust includes generating, by computer hardware of a first entity, a hash of a public key of a key pair. The hash is split into a plurality of key shares. A first key share of the plurality of key shares is shared with a second entity, wherein the first key share is programmed into a reserved eFuse slot of an integrated circuit device by the second entity. A boot image signed by the second entity is loaded into the integrated circuit device. The boot image is configured to unlock access to circuitry configured to write to the reserved eFuse. A second key share of the plurality of key shares is programmed into the reserved eFuse slot.
