Abstract :
To ensure the overall security of embedded systems with off-chip memories, it is essential to safeguard the confidentiality and integrity of the data that travels between the system-on-chip part of the embedded system and the off-chip memory. This article presents a novel low-overhead architecture to achieve this goal.
