Software Intellectual Property (IP) protection

Customers make significant investments to create Intellectual Property (IP) that may represent the critical value proposition to end users in the market, hence it becomes imperative that security framework provides mechanisms like encrypted boot, the ability to carry isolated processing, and fire walling to allow customers to protect their IP.
