Abstract
A method for processing Ethernet data and may include receiving Ethernet data via at least one Ethernet physical interface transceiver (PHY) integrated within a single Ethernet IP telephone chip. At least one secure application key may be received from a secure server by an on-chip security module (OSM) integrated within the Ethernet IP telephone chip for processing the received Ethernet data. The Ethernet IP telephone chip may be authenticated prior to the processing of the received Ethernet data using a security processor integrated within the OSM. The received Ethernet data may be processed by the Ethernet IP telephone chip based on the received at least one secure application key. The at least one secure application key may be communicated only from the secure server to the Ethernet IP telephone chip. The received Ethernet data may include one or both of video data and/or voice data.
