ABSTRACT:
A system is provided having first and second integrated circuits. The first integrated circuit implements a first entity which stores an encryption or decryption function, one or more secret keys for use with the function, and an identity of each of the secret keys which are each indicative of an access permission to the first entity associated with each of the secret keys. The second integrated circuit implements a second entity which stores the function and is programmed and configured to issue a request to the first integrated circuit for one or more of the access permissions and associated key identities for one or more of the secret keys stored in the first entity. The first integrated circuit being programmed and configured to respond to the request by outputting the access permissions and key identities to the second entity for use with the function without outputting the secret keys.
