Patent
Automatic data generation for self-test of cryptographic hash algorithms in personal security devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a hardware hash algorithm block to automatically generate data to hash from its initialization values and to run unassisted instead of needing a continuous supply of additional input data.
Patent
Autotest of encryption algorithms in embedded secure encryption devices
TL;DR: In this article, an internal state machine controller in an integrated circuit containing a cryptographic implementation independently tests and verifies each of the encryption and decryption algorithms and modes within the implementation with minimal processor intervention.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a Secured Processing Unit (SPU) chip, a microprocessor designed especially for secure data processing, which is based on the orchestration of three interrelated systems: (i) detectors, which alert the SPU to the existence, and help characterize the nature, of a security attack; (ii) filters, which correlate the data from the various detectors, weighing the severity of the attack against the risk to SPU's integrity, both to its secret data and to the design itself; and (iii) responses, which are countermeasures,
