Abstract
A computing device receives a feature name or key name for an integrated circuit comprising a security manager core and an additional component. At least one of a) the additional component is associated with the key name or b) a feature provided by the additional component is associated with the feature name. The computing device receives a specified number of bits associated with the feature name or the key name, and maps the feature name to a feature address space or the key name to a key interface of the security manager core based at on the specified number of bits. The computing device generates at least one hardware description logic (HDL) module based on the mapping, wherein the at least one HDL module is usable to configure the security manager core for delivery of payloads associated with the feature name or the key name to the additional component.
