    Abstract: Method, apparatus, and system for qualifying CPU transactions with security attributes. Immutable security attributes are generated for transactions initiator by a CPU or processor core that identifying the execution mode of the CPU/core being trusted or untrusted. The transactions may be targeted to an Input/Output (I/O) device or system memory via which a protected asset may be accessed. Policy enforcement logic blocks are implemented at various points in the apparatus or system that allow or deny transactions access to protected assets based on the immutable security attributes generated for the transactions. In one aspect, a multiple-level security scheme is implemented under which a mode register is updated via a first transaction to indicate the CPU/core is operating in a trusted execution mode, and security attributes are generated for a second transaction using execution mode indicia in the mode register to verify the transaction is from a trusted initiator.

    Abstract: A method and system for enforcing access control to system resources and assets. Security attributes associated with devices that initiate transactions in the system are automatically generated and forwarded with transaction messages. The security attributes convey access privileges assigned to each initiator. One or more security enforcement mechanisms are implemented in the system to evaluate the security attributes against access policy requirements to access various system assets and resources, such as memory, registers, address ranges, etc. If the privileges identified by the security attributes indicate the access request is permitted, the transaction is allowed to proceed. The security attributes of the initiator scheme provides a modular, consistent secure access enforcement scheme across system designs.
