This helps you quickly interpret patents by identifying the three key elements:
Problems solved by technology
Method used
Benefits of technology
Problems solved by technology
However, secure cryptographic processors are typically used to protect relatively small amounts of information, and are often limited in the extent of information they can protect
Scaling a secure cryptographic processor to larger applications would be cost-prohibitive and require significant dedicated resources
Additionally, secure cryptographic processors are fixed in silicon, presenting maintenance and update challenges
Any successful attack on the system will require the redevelopment and modification of a large amount of potentially expensive hardware

example
[0077] This example will assume a 128-bit block size with 64-bit data, 32-bit checksum and 32-bit random data. For example, plaintext blocks can be arranged as follows: [64 bits of data] [32 bits of random] [32 bits of checksum]. These selections are for illustration only. Different values can be chosen in practical implementations to achieve different security and performance goals.
[0078] 1. Issue a CPU instruction to store 32 bits in storage location 0x100.
[0079] 2. The memory used by the Enhanced Security CPU emulator is divided into 128-bit (ie 16-byte) chunks. Each chunk contains eight bytes of actual data.
[0080] 3. Since we store 32 bits, we know that the bytes 0x100, 0x101, 0x102, and 0x103 are involved. This is what the program sees.
[0081] 4. More specifically, we know that due to the message expansion factor, the actual memory locations 0x200, 0x202, 0x204, and 0x206 are involved.
[0082] 5. From 128-bit encryption, we know that 0x0-0xF is one blo...
Embodiment approach
[0163] Item 1. A computer system for securely executing software instructions, the computer system comprising:
[0164] a first processor having a plurality of hardware registers;
[0165] storage; and
[0166] An emulator program, comprising a plurality of instructions stored in memory, executable by the first processor to:

Abstract
An information assurancesystem for secure program execution is disclosed. The enhanced information assurancesystem may comprise an improved computer (12) including a central processing unit (CPU) (16) emulator configured to extend the available machineinstruction set. The CPU emulator may be configured to emulate machine language instructions taken from a nonnative set of secure opcodes. The CPU emulator may ensure that instructions and data (36) in a random access memory (RAM) (14) remain encrypted at all times when in RAM, for example by storing the instructions (38) and data (36) in CPU registers (18) when decrypted on an as-needed basis.
Description
technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for maintaining data and program security during code execution. Background technique [0002] In modern computer programs, whether on standard desktops or critical real-time embedded systems, protecting critical data and technology is paramount in today's threat-rich environment. This task becomes increasingly difficult when potential attackers have large budgets, direct access to target systems, and ample time. [0003] Computer programs that perform critical functions (e.g., control of nuclear power plants, surgical robots, autonomous weapon systems, etc.) are generally protected by isolation from other computers and computer programs that could extract critical data or impair their behavior and performance. In practice, the "criticality" of computer programs ranges from jeopardy that may cause inconvenience to users, to jeopardy that may cause temporary loss of critical infrastructure and ser...
