    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: 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.
