Abstract:
1. A method comprising: detecting an audit event, using a runtime event log, in response to execution of a command by an application executing on a computing device when the command has an associated command ordinal that corresponds to an indicator stored in at least one storage register of the computing device, commands executed by the application having associated command ordinals; and selectively auditing a number of transactions between a computing device and a separate device based on the detected audit event associated with the number of transactions using a cryptographic processing module within the computing device, the cryptographic processing module being at least one of hardware logic embedded within a main circuit board of the computing device or a separate hardware component that is attached to the main circuit board, wherein selectively auditing of the number of transactions includes securely storing at least one attribute of selected audited transactions within the computing device.
