Patent GB-2514454-A (GB)
Title: Secure data management
Inventor: WALTON TRAVIS
IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2014-03-13
Abstract: The invention aims to prevent data leakage, in particular preventing an instance of an application from copying or writing files it accessed in a high security zone to a zone of lesser security. The invention solves this by associating an instance of an application with a restriction level which is based on security levels of security zones that have been accessed by the application instance. When an application requests to access a first security zone, it is determined whether the restriction level associated with the application is higher than a security level of the first security zone. If it is higher, the application is prevented from accessing or writing to the first security zone. If it is not higher, the application instance is authorized to access or write to the first security zone. For example, application B 208 can be prevented from accessing security zone 1 210 because its restriction level of 2 is higher than security level 1.

Title: Clock frequency reduction for an electronic device
Inventor: WHATMOUGH PAUL NICHOLAS
IPC: H03K3/011
Filed: 2014-05-06
Abstract: An electronic device 20 has a clock path 24 for propagating a clock signal and a clock propagating element 26 on the clock path. An analogue element 30 coupled to the clock path 24 varies, in dependence on an analogue level of a first signal 32, a switching delay for the clock propagating element 26 to trigger a transition of the clock signal. The first signal is a digitally sampled signal. This provides a mechanism for providing a fast reduction in clock frequency even if the first signal is a metastable signal, which is useful for avoiding errors causes by voltage drops. The analogue element may have a variable resistance, current regulating element or a capacitive element selectively coupled, in dependence of the analogue level of the first signal.
