Title: Methods and apparatus for protecting domains of a device from unauthorised accesses
Inventor: ALESSANDRO ANGELINO
IPC: G06F21/74
Filed: 2016-08-15
Abstract: This application is for a way of protecting the domains of a device from unauthorised access. The problem it seeks to overcome is that if an attacker manages to gain access to a domain with poor security, then he can easily use this to gain access to the rest of the device. It solves this problem by having an exit call gateway 1308, with an exit transition instruction and an exit access parameter that is stored in a secure memory at the source domain 1306 and an entry call gateway 1301 with a similar instruction, parameter and also stored in a secure memory at the target domain 1300. When an exit call is made a supervisor call checks that there is a corresponding entry call. If it does, and the parameters of the exit call and entry call gateways are compatible, then it will complete the call and allow access. If there is no corresponding entry call gateway, then an error message is generated. When they are compatible with each other then a context switch from the source domain to the target domain is performed.
