A system and method for generation of a hardware description for adding interface protection scheme to an electronic design. The electronic design and interface protection scheme are defined as parameters. An interface protection model includes interface protection implementation parameters that describe the implementation details of the interface protection. A hardware description module uses the electronic design parameters and the interface protection implementation parameters to create a hardware description. The interface protection scheme can be a built-in protection scheme, a user defined scheme, a scheme that includes place holders that the user may define later, and a combination of the preceding.
