ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit ("IC") chip is provided having both a public key cryptographic engine and a fuse array thereon. The fuse array is hardwired to the public key cryptographic engine and is encoded with a private key for use by the cryptographic engine. Specifically, prior to encapsulation of the IC chip, the fuse array is encoded using a laser ablation process. Upon encapsulation, the private key is permanently sealed and secured within the IC chip. The fuse array may also have a public key hash value and a serial number encoded therein.
