    摘要: A method and apparatus for secure processing of cryptographic keys, wherein a cryptographic key stored on a token is processed in a secure processor mode using a secure memory. A main system processor is initialized into a secure processing mode, which cannot be interrupted by other interrupts, during a power-on sequence. A user enters a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to unlock the cryptographic key stored on the token. The cryptographic key and associated cryptographic program are then loaded into the secure memory. The secure memory is locked to prevent access to the stored data from any other processes. The user is then prompted to remove the token and the processor exits the secure mode and the system continues normal boot-up operations. When an application requests security processing, the cryptographic program is executed by the processor in the secure mode such that no other programs or processes can observe the execution of the program. Two-factor authentication is thus obtained without the need for any additional hardware.

    摘要: A trusted workstation includes a network interface card (NIC) with trusted computing base (TCB) extensions that provide for securely booting the workstation and performing subsequent receive and transmit packet filtering in support of a network's system architecture requirements. The NIC includes a send address confirm circuit which includes a trusted source address (e.g., a MAC address) uniquely associated with the trusted workstation. For each packet to be transmitted from the trusted workstation over the network, the NIC first checks the source address inserted in the packet by the NIC driver running the user session to be sure that the driver inserted source address is equal to the trusted address resident. Thus, if untrusted software on the workstation attempts mischiefly transmit a forged packet with a source address other than the trusted source address, the NIC prohibits transmission of the packet with the forged source address. This prevents the trusted workstation from forging its packets with another client's source address. The NIC also includes a receive address confirmation circuit which ensures that the trusted workstation only receives packets from authorized servers.

    摘要: A system and method for protecting a non-volatile storage element of an electronic system from an unauthorized write access is described. The method features the operational steps of entering a mode of operation in which an authentication process is performed, placing a security circuit of the electronic system in a first predetermined state of operation before leaving the mode of operation, checking the current state of the security circuit, and halting further operations of the electronic system if the security circuit exists in a state of operation other than the first predetermined state of operation.

    摘要: A multiprocessing computer system and method providing multiplexed address and data paths from multiple CPUs to a single storage device. These paths are controlled by an arbitration circuit which allows one CPU to always have the highest priority. The primary CPU may or may not be the highest priority CPU in the arbitration scheme. The arbitration circuit is combined with a controlling mechanism which interfaces to the memory device. This controller operates at a clock rate fast enough to allow the highest priority CPU to access the memory at it's highest data rate and, yet, guarantees a maximum idle period for the lower priority CPU to wait for it's interleaved memory access to complete. A single memory device provides cost and space savings. A controller is responsive to these processors to multiplex their information signals for selectively conveying information present at their address and data ports. A common memory device is addressable by the processors, and responsive to the controller to share addressing of the common memory device.
