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:

  1. Status Verification

    • Use prescribed methods (e.g., SoC configuration register checks, CLI commands) to verify the operational status of IP protection technologies.

  2. Protection Effectiveness Test

    • Attempt controlled reads or modifications of protected chip regions in OEM presence to verify access restrictions.

  3. Response Monitoring

    • Observe DUT for alerts, access denials, security logs, or other responses confirming active IP protection.

Without IP Protection Technologies:

  1. Design Confirmation

    • Verify via manufacturer’s declaration that no IP protection technology is integrated into the SoC.

  2. 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.")
