METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROCESSOR AGNOSTIC ENCRYPTION MANAGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17729706 Titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROCESSOR AGNOSTIC ENCRYPTION MANAGEMENT'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for securing memory using an external memory controller. The method involves the following steps:
1. The external memory controller receives a request from a processor core to allocate a specific memory region. 2. In response to the request, the memory controller allocates the requested memory region from the memory. 3. The memory controller associates the processor core with the allocated memory region, indicating that the core has access to that specific region. 4. Additionally, the memory controller associates an encryption key and a decryption key with the allocated memory region. These keys are used to encrypt and decrypt the data stored in that region, providing an extra layer of security.
In summary, the method ensures that memory is allocated securely by associating the processor core, encryption key, and decryption key with the allocated memory region.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for securing memory via an external memory controller, that includes receiving, by the external memory controller, an allocation request to allocate a memory region from a processor core, and in response to receiving the allocation request, allocating the memory region from the memory, associating the processor core with the memory region, and associating an encryption key and a decryption key with the memory region.
