System for the secure execution of distributed computing tasks using hardware-based isolation mechanisms

Abstract

A system for the secure execution of distributed computing tasks using hardware-based isolation mechanisms, wherein the system comprises: a plurality of interconnected computing devices, each computing device comprising a processing unit containing at least one multi-core processor equipped with an isolation circuit configured to define a plurality of execution compartments, each execution compartment being configured to execute a computing task independently with isolated register states, cache allocation boundaries, and instruction pipelines; a memory subsystem electrically connected to the processing unit and consisting of a plurality of physically partitioned memory segments;a memory control unit configured to allocate an appropriate memory segment to each execution compartment and enforce access restrictions that prevent cross-compartment memory access; a secure communication unit configured to establish encrypted and authenticated communication channels between the multiple computing devices; a task distribution unit configured to assign distributed computing tasks to selected execution areas based on resource availability and predefined security restrictions; and a verification unit configured to authenticate executable instructions prior to execution using hardware-based cryptographic validation, ensuring that each distributed computing task is executed in a hardware-isolated execution environment across the multitude of computing devices.
