Abstract
Interfaces of a compute node on a printed circuit board can be secured by obfuscating the information communicated over the interfaces. Data to be communicated between the compute node and a device on the printed circuit board using an interface can be encrypted, and an address corresponding to the data to be communicated can be scrambled. In addition, the compute node can be the root of trust which can provide secure boot of different components using an on-chip mechanism, and without relying on external devices.
