Hi,

My guess is that you are looking for a CPU for a secure (financial?) 
application.  I worked on a platform a few years ago that stored off-
chip programs and data in an encrypted form and then decrypted pages 
into internal RAM as needed.  Quite a bit of "infrastructure" is 
required to do this sort of thing.  And you might want an ARM9 instead 
of an ARM7.  

To do this now, I'd be looking for an implemenation using 
ARM's "TrustZone" and "SecureCore" technology.  I haven't yet seen this 
in generally available silicon.

Regards,

Tom
