    Abstract: A processor is described that includes one or more processing cores. The processor includes a memory controller to interface with a system memory having a protected region and a non protected region. The processor includes a protection engine to protect against active and passive attacks. The processor includes an encryption/decryption engine to protect against passive attacks. The protection engine includes bridge circuitry coupled between the memory controller and the one or more processing cores. The bridge circuitry is also coupled to the protection engine and the encryption/decryption engine. The bridge circuitry is to route first requests directed to the protected region to the protection engine and to route second requests directed to the non protected region to the encryption/decryption engine.

    Abstract translation: 描述了包括一个或多个处理核心的处理器。 处理器包括与具有受保护区域和非保护区域的系统存储器接口的存储器控​​制器。 该处理器包括保护引擎,以防止主动和被动攻击。 该处理器包括一个加密/解密引擎,以防止被动攻击。 保护引擎包括耦合在存储器控制器和一个或多个处理核心之间的桥接电路。 桥接电路还耦合到保护引擎和加密/解密引擎。 桥接电路是将定向到保护区域的第一请求路由到保护引擎,并将定向到非保护区域的第二请求路由到加密/解密引擎。
