Security (S12XE9SECV2)
9.1
This specification describes the function of the security mechanism in the S12XE chip family (9SEC).
9.1.1
The user must be reminded that part of the security must lie with the application code. An extreme example
would be application code that dumps the contents of the internal memory. This would defeat the purpose
of security. At the same time, the user may also wish to put a backdoor in the application program. An
example of this is the user downloads a security key through the SCI, which allows access to a
programming routine that updates parameters stored in another section of the Flash memory.
The security features of the S12XE chip family (in secure mode) are:

No security feature is absolutely secure. However, Freescale’s strategy is to
make reading or copying the FLASH and/or EEPROM difficult for
unauthorized users.
