    摘要: There is disclosed a computing/data processing device comprising: a plurality of computing units, each computing unit comprising a computing resource; the computing device comprising at least three computing units, each computing unit comprising a/the same computing resource; each computing unit further comprising a computing unit access manager, each unit access manager being adapted to control access to the computing resource of the respective computing unit in response to at least one request; wherein, the computing unit access manager only allows a response to the at least one request if a majority of the computing units provide a same response to the at least one request; and wherein, the computing device comprising a network-on-a-chip, is provided on a chip and/or comprises an integrated chip (IC) or microprocessor. The IC beneficially comprises a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) device. In a preferred embodiment, the unit access manager controls access to the computing resource based on a token; the token comprising: a pointer to the respective computing resource, a set of rights relating to that computing resource, and a numerical representation of that computing resource.

    摘要: A method for preventing ransomware attacks on a computing system. By controlling the access to a calling interface through which cryptographic functions, such as the random number generator, can be accessed to generate strong encryption keys the method allows to efficiently terminate cryptographic ransomware attacks on the system before they can start doing any damage. If the access to the cryptographic functions, such as the random number generator, is not granted, the ransomware is unable to build a strong encryption key, and it is unable to deploy its intended effect.
