Manufacturers around the world must protect their intellectual property (IP) in everything from consumer electronics to wired and wireless communications equipment. Protecting systems from unintentional overwrites, malicious attacks and cloning is essential, yet it costs manufacturers and service providers millions of dollars each year.
