Abstract: Software-based techniques represent the dominant paradigm for the implementation of network security. Due to the rapidly growing and dynamic nature of contemporary networks security threats are becoming challenging and the overheads of a purely software approach are mounting to enormous proportions. Higher scales of hardware integration have also produced novel types of hardware threats and attacks which cannot be addressed by a purely software approach. Hence the interest in hardware security approaches is increasing. In this paper, we propose a general architecture for hardware-based security that can address the custom security needs of the users. The architecture incorporates the security model adopted in the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) model for security.
