Patent ID: 7712140

Claim:
A distributed architecture of an information handling system, comprising: a buried nucleus inaccessible for inspection while said buried nucleus is in operation, said buried nucleus including at least one matrix multiplier; and a trusted authority, said trusted authority being in a vault and being configured for being operated according to at least one of: encryption measures and security measures, said trusted authority configured for generating a secure protocol, said secure protocol controlling operation of said buried nucleus, wherein authorization information is securely conveyed into the buried nucleus via the secure protocol, thereby causing the buried nucleus to operate an return a result, the result utilizable for activating an authorized operation, the authorization information being processed by the buried nucleus when the buried nucleus is in operation, thereby making said authorization information and information relating to processing of said authorization information inaccessible for inspection once said authorization information is conveyed to the buried nucleus, wherein all operations carried out by resource sets operating in an interior of the buried nucleus are inaccessible for inspection, said operations including deciphering of a key provided to the buried nucleus via the secure protocol, wherein operation of the buried nucleus is automatically suspended upon detection of an intrusion, rebuilding of a secure environment within the buried nucleus occurs after said detected intrusion, and resetting of a clock of the architecture to zero occurs when replication by an attacker of said rebuilding occurs.
