Abstract
A method of processor operation using an integrated circuit (IC) can include loading encrypted program code into the IC through a configuration port of the IC and decrypting the encrypted program code using configuration circuitry of the IC. Decryption of the encrypted program code can result in decrypted program code which can be provided to a target destination.
