Schema-based portal architecture for assessment and integration of silicon IPs
First Claim
1. A method for managing third party silicon IPs and silicon design, the method comprising:
- receiving external IP information at an IP portal from a third party via a secure access layer;
performing one or more functions on the received IP information;
authorizing user access privileges and encrypting a message based on an interface protocol; and
transmitting the encrypted message.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and media for a schema-based portal for assessment and integration of silicon IPs are disclosed. Embodiments may generally include an IP portal system having a portal interface to receive inputs from users and to provide output to users and a database interface to transmit and receive information to and from a silicon IP database and an IP file system. Embodiments of the system may also include a secure access layer (HTTP tunnel, firewall, or proprietary secure access protocol) to securely communicate information and an internal interface protocol and an external interface protocol and the secure access layer. The internal interface protocol may authorize and encrypt communications to an internal user or design system and the external interface protocol may authorize and encrypt communications to an external user or design system. The portal interface may be a Web-based interface and schema-based in some embodiments.
