TEST 1
Test Case ID: BIS-1.7.1 Test Name: TC_TEST_INTELLECTUAL_PROPERTY_PROTECTION_ENABLEMENT
Objective
To verify, in the presence of the OEM team, whether Intellectual Property (IP) protection technologies provided by the chip manufacturer are enabled and operational. If no such technologies are available, confirm this via a manufacturer’s declaration and assess whether alternative protection mechanisms are implemented.
Tools Used
OEM-provided SoC datasheet and IP protection feature documentation
SoC diagnostic/management commands or tools (e.g., register dump utilities, debug status tools)
Logic analyzer or interface monitoring tools (if applicable)
Manufacturer’s declaration (if IP protection not available)
Test Execution Steps
With IP Protection Technologies:
Status Verification
Use prescribed methods (e.g., SoC configuration register checks, CLI commands) to verify the operational status of IP protection technologies.
Protection Effectiveness Test
Attempt controlled reads or modifications of protected chip regions in OEM presence to verify access restrictions.
Response Monitoring
Observe DUT for alerts, access denials, security logs, or other responses confirming active IP protection.
Without IP Protection Technologies:
Design Confirmation
Verify via manufacturer’s declaration that no IP protection technology is integrated into the SoC.
Alternative Measures Validation
Confirm that alternative security mechanisms (e.g., firmware encryption, secure boot, licensing enforcement) are implemented to safeguard intellectual property.
Expected Results for Pass
With IP Protection: IP protection technologies are enabled and verified as functional through operational testing.
Without IP Protection: Manufacturer’s declaration is present, and alternative IP protection measures are in place.
Test Observations
(Insert findings here — e.g., "Chip supports secure code encryption; configuration registers indicate feature enabled; attempts to read protected memory returned access denied errors.")
Evidence Provided
SoC register dump outputs / CLI command screenshots
Logs of access denial attempts to protected regions
Manufacturer’s signed declaration (if applicable)
OEM verification sign-off
Test Case Result
☐ Pass – IP protection technologies enabled and functional / Manufacturer declaration validated ☐ Fail – IP protection missing, disabled, or ineffective
Overall Test Result
(Summarize outcome for BIS-1.7.1 — e.g., "IP protection enabled and verified; DUT meets requirement.")
