Claim 0:
1. A method for secure testing and provisioning of an integrated circuit (IC), the method comprising:
configuring a secure asset provisioning hardware entity (SAPHE) module to apply unlocking key patterns to the IC;
configuring a secure reconfigurable key provisioning architecture (SLEEVE) module disposed in the IC to, upon receiving the unlocking key patterns, generate key bits for decoding and encoding inputs and outputs of the IC;
configuring the SAPHE module to apply a set of encoded test patterns to the SLEEVE module;
configuring the SAPHE module to receive, from the IC, a first set of responses to the set of encoded test patterns; and
configuring the SAPHE module to determine whether the SLEEVE module is properly configured based at least in part on the first set of responses.
