Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a logging apparatus having a security module operable to create a manipulation-proof log; and a configuration apparatus operable to configure a microprocessor system according to one or more configuration parameters, the configuration apparatus being further operable to be coupled to the logging apparatus in order to log a configuration of the microprocessor system using the logging apparatus; wherein said one or more configuration parameters comprise at least one of: a memory size for the microprocessor system, a module connected with the microprocessor system, a processor connected with the microprocessor system, a system module connected with the microprocessor system, and a software block or software library connected with the microprocessor system; wherein the logging apparatus is operable to generate a release code having at least one configuration parameter and to allow the microprocessor system to be configured according to the configuration parameter of the release code by means of the configuration apparatus, and wherein the logging apparatus is operable to generate the release code so that the release code is cryptographically protected against manipulation.
