Abstract:
In accordance with some embodiments, fuse information may be written into a fuse array in a way that provides sufficient redundancy, making it harder for malicious parties to attack the fuse array.
Abstract:
A disclosed example method involves configuring a processor to, when transitioning the processor system to a low-power mode, use a key and a random or pseudo-random value to generate a first signature based on a sample of memory regions to be protected during the low-power mode, the memory regions based on a manufacturer required regions table and a third-party required regions table. The disclosed example method also involves configuring a processor to, during a resume process of the processor system from the low-power mode, generate a second signature based on the sample of the memory regions protected during the low-power mode. The disclosed example method also involves configuring a processor to, when the first signature matches the second signature, cause the processor system to resume from the low-power mode, and when the first signature does not match the second signature, generate an error.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques to determine a secure memory region for a transaction, the secure memory region associated with a security association context to perform one or more of an encryption/decryption operation and an authentication operation for the transaction, perform one or more of the encryption/decryption operation and the authentication operation for the transaction based on the security association context, and cause communication of the transaction.
Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to initialize a platform. An example disclosed apparatus includes a boot loader manager to prevent operating system loading in response to detecting a power-on condition, a context manager to retrieve first context information associated with the platform, and a policy manager to identify a first operating system based on the first context information, the policy manager to authorize the boot loader manager to load the first operating system.
Abstract:
A disclosed example involves managing power states, signing a suspend-to-RAM (STR) data structure by: generating a header key, a scatter/gather table key and a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) key using a root key generated by the secure processor. Generating a header signature using the header key, the header signature based on a table header and a random or pseudo-random value. Generating a scatter/gather table signature using the scatter/gather table key, the scatter/gather table signature based on a scatter/gather table header and a random or pseudo-random value. Generating a DRAM signature using the DRAM key and a value from a region of DRAM. Storing the header signature, the scatter/gather table signature and the DRAM signature in the STR data structure. Resume the processor system from the low-power mode when the data structure is valid based on a comparison of a first signature and a second signature.

Abstract:
Apparatus, systems and methods for hardware accelerated compressed video bitstream escape code handling are disclosed including an apparatus comprising a bitstream parser (BSP) to parse a bitstream of compressed video data. The BSP includes circuitry to extract uncompressed run and level data from the bitstream when the BSP detects an escape code in the bitstream. Other implementations are disclosed.
