Method and system for improved fault tolerance in distributed customization controls using non-volatile memory
First Claim
1. A method for processing information in a communication system, the method comprising:
- encrypting an input control signal;
mapping said encrypted input control signal to a plurality of input logic circuits;
routing said mapped encrypted input control signal via at least a portion of a plurality of independent processing paths between each of said plurality of input logic circuits and an output logic circuit, wherein each of said plurality of independent processing paths comprises at least one logic circuit;
combining outputs of said at least a portion of said plurality of independent processing paths in said output logic circuit to re-generate said encrypted input control signal; and
decrypting said encrypted input control signal after said combining.

Abstract
Certain aspects of a method and system for improved fault tolerance in distributed customization controls using non-volatile memory are disclosed. Aspects of one method may include mapping an input control signal to a plurality of input logic circuits within a security processor. A plurality of independent processing paths may be defined between each of the plurality of input logic circuits and an output logic circuit. Each of the plurality of independent processing paths may comprise one or more logic circuits. The input control signal may be routed via at least a portion of the plurality of independent processing paths. The portion of the plurality of independent processing paths may be combined in the output logic circuit to generate the input control signal.
