FIRMWARE GUARD EXTENSION WITH CONVERGED DEFENSE ENGINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126884 titled 'FIRMWARE GUARD EXTENSION WITH CONVERGED DEFENSE ENGINE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system for data protection that includes an address mapping state machine, a firmware extension table, a plurality of adders, and external components.

  • Address mapping state machine receives address data and protection data to generate runtime address data.
  • Firmware extension table is coupled to a plurality of adders that receive data derived from the runtime address data and output mapped runtime address data.
  • External components utilize the mapped runtime address data for predetermined functions.

Potential Applications

The technology described in the patent application could be applied in the following areas:

  • Data security systems
  • Embedded systems
  • Network infrastructure

Problems Solved

The system addresses the following issues:

  • Data protection and security
  • Efficient data processing
  • Address mapping for external components

Benefits

The system offers the following benefits:

  • Enhanced data protection
  • Improved system performance
  • Streamlined data processing

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized in various commercial applications, such as:

  • Cybersecurity solutions for businesses
  • Embedded systems for IoT devices
  • Network infrastructure for data centers

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be existing data protection systems that use address mapping techniques for data security.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle address conflicts between different external components?

The system may have mechanisms in place to resolve address conflicts, such as prioritizing access based on predefined rules or implementing arbitration protocols.

What is the scalability of the system in terms of the number of external components it can support?

The system's scalability may depend on factors such as the processing power of the adders, the memory capacity of the firmware extension table, and the complexity of the address mapping state machine.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system for data protection, comprising an address mapping state machine configured to receive address data and protection data and to generate runtime address data, a firmware extension table coupled to a plurality of adders that are configured to receive data derived from the runtime address data and to output mapped runtime address data and a plurality of external components configured to receive the mapped runtime address data and to utilize the mapped runtime address data for one or more predetermined functions.
