摘要:
Described herein are apparatus, system, and method for providing memory access control to protect software (e.g., firmware backup) and other data. The method comprises providing, by a processor, a protected storage area in a memory for storing backup image of software; detecting corruption in the software; accessing the backup image of the software from the protected storage area; and updating the corrupted software using the backup image, wherein the protected storage area is a reserved storage area of the memory.
摘要:
A microprocessor for providing an extended linear address of more than 32 bits. The extended linear address may be provided by concatenating a linear address with a segment selector extension, or by concatenating the values from two registers. Hierarchical translation of a linear address to a physical address is performed in which the number of levels in the hierarchy depends upon whether the linear address is an extended linear address.

Systems and methods for sharing an e-wallet are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may share an e-wallet among multiple users on a single device. In other embodiments, the systems and method may share an e-wallet among multiple devices and/or multiple users on multiple devices. In some instances, an remotely stored e-wallet may be used or leveraged by an e-wallet uncertified device.

Generally, this disclosure describes providing theft deterrence for a device while in transit. The system may include lock state circuitry configured to receive and store an unlock token, the unlock token configured to indicate that an associated device has successfully completed transit from a source to a destination; and lock state read circuitry configured to request the unlock token from the lock state circuitry and to determine whether the associated device has successfully completed transit from the source to the destination based on the unlock token.

A method and system provides the user of a computing device with information, analysis, suggestions and/or recommendations relating to the user's financial information and/or purchasing history, in relation to an electronic commerce transaction initiated by the user at the computing device, prior to, during, or after completion of the electronic commerce transaction.
摘要:
Embodiments of the invention are directed towards logic and/or modules stored in processor secure storage to determine whether a first platform firmware image (e.g., basic input/output system (BIOS), device read-only memory (ROM), manageability engine firmware) loaded onto a processor cache is valid. The processor executes the first platform firmware image if it is determined to be valid. If the first platform image is determined to be invalid, a second platform firmware image is located. If this platform firmware image is determined to be valid, the processor will execute said second platform image.In some embodiments of the invention, the determination of whether the first platform firmware image is valid is based, at least in part, on verification of a digital signature associated with the first platform firmware image. The digital signature may be created, for example, from a private key, wherein the digital signature is verified via a public key.

An apparatus and a system, as well as a method and article, may operate to compare a circuit operational condition with a specified condition, to record an out-of-specification condition, and to determine some specified number of recorded out-of-specification conditions.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a processor includes: a first die including at least one processor core to execute instructions and a non-volatile storage to store an identifier to be provisioned into the processor during manufacture; a second die to couple to the first die, the second die including a wireless circuit and a second non-volatile storage; and a wireless interface to couple to the second die to enable wireless communication with a wireless device. The processor may be disabled if the identifier is not stored in the second non-volatile storage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
