摘要： Architectures and techniques that allow legacy pin functionality to be replaced with a “virtual wire” that may communicate information that would otherwise be communicated by a wired interface. A message may be passed between a system controller and a processor that includes a virtual wire value and a virtual wire change indicator. The virtual wire value may include a signal corresponding to one or more pins that have been eliminated from the physical interface and the virtual wire change value may include an indication of whether the virtual wire value has changed. The combination of the virtual wire value and the virtual wire change indicator may allow multiple physical pins to be replaced by message values.

摘要： This disclosure pertains to device-monitoring systems, and in particular (but not exclusively) to detecting and deterring unauthorized use of electronic systems at distinct locations and during specific time periods. An apparatus consistent with the present disclosure includes logic, at least partially implemented in hardware, to receive an entrance message. The entrance message may include at least one policy for the manner to which a device is to be operated when present within a device restricted area. The apparatus may also include logic to send an acknowledgement notification to indicate receipt of the entrance message and an agreement to abide by the at least one policy. Furthermore, the apparatus may also include logic to detect an attempt to execute an action contrary to the at least one policy.

摘要： The present invention is a method and system to automatic loading program on a medium into memory for execution. In one embodiment, a mode word is configured. The insertion of the medium into a drive is detected based on the mode word. A program on the medium is started when insertion is detected. In another embodiment, a polling circuit in a chipset detects the insertion of the medium into the drive. A status bit is checked in response to an interrupt generated by the polling circuit. A flag in a memory is updated based on the status bit. A poll request by an operating system is responded.

摘要： An apparatus and method for unilaterally loading a secure operating system within a multiprocessor environment are described. The method includes disregarding a received load secure region instruction when a currently active load secure region operation is detected. Otherwise, a memory protection element is directed, in response to the received load secure region instruction, to form a secure memory environment. Once directed, unauthorized read/write access to one or more protected memory regions are prohibited. Finally, a cryptographic hash value of the one or more protected memory regions is stored within a digest information repository as a secure software identification value. Once stored, outside agents may request access to a digitally signed software identification value in order to establish security verification of secure software within the secure memory environment.

摘要： A protected configuration space is implemented as at least one range of memory addresses that are mapped to logic external to system memory. The memory addresses access logic that performs control and status operations pertaining to a protected operating environment. Some of the addresses may access protected configuration registers. Commands having destination addresses within the protected configuration space may not be completed if the commands are not issued by a processor, or if the commands are not part of a group of one or more designated protected commands. A separately addressable non-protected configuration space may also be implemented, accessible by processors, non-processors and/or non-protected commands.

摘要翻译： 受保护的配置空间被实现为被映射到系统存储器外部的逻辑的至少一个存储器地址范围。 内存涉及执行与受保护的操作环境有关的控制和状态操作的访问逻辑。 一些地址可以访问受保护的配置寄存器。 如果命令不是由处理器发出，或者命令不是一个或多个指定的受保护命令的组的一部分，则在受保护的配置空间内具有目标地址的命令可能不会被完成。 单独可寻址的非保护配置空间也可以被实现，可由处理器，非处理器和/或非保护命令访问。
