The patent US12045379B1 describes a non-transitory processor-readable medium that contains instructions for a processor to manage access to a second circuit based on an encryption key assembled from multiple key portions stored in a memory device. The process begins with the detection of a first circuit connected to a memory device containing various memory portions, each holding a unique portion of the encryption key. The processor is tasked with assembling the complete encryption key by ordering these portions according to two predefined lists, which are stored in the first circuit but not in the memory device. This assembly allows the processor to authorize a specific access level to the second circuit, ensuring that access is granted based on the encryption key rather than more restrictive access levels.

Additionally, the patent outlines various configurations for access authorization, including the use of biometric information or personal identification numbers (PINs) to determine different access levels. The system is designed to operate across multiple compute devices, with the first circuit being able to authorize access to the second circuit and other memory devices based on the assembled encryption key. The claims also specify that the memory portions are physically distinct, enhancing security by distributing the key portions across different memory devices. Overall, the patent presents a method for secure access management that leverages unique encryption keys and user authentication mechanisms.
