Interesting... It is an on silicon one time pad that is not shared.
It should be nonvolatile and if permitted by hardware it can be mapped.
If it can be mapped  a second copy of a one time pad can be made to phone
home
with.   A hard fuse link set could make it near impossible to map a second
time
thus making it an interesting mobile resource.
Large is very possible.
Fragile?   If too fragile data gets lost when it should not be lost.
Hidden in a PRNG system block it could be a unique start up seed
that has hard to guess sequencing.  If unreliable (fragile) PRNG
prediction gets harder.  If noisy magic...

What other patent ideas can we disclose here and claim ownership
of  ;-)
