  • Patent number: 9043594
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for initiating secure operations in a microprocessor system is described. In one embodiment, one initiating logical processor initiates the process by halting the execution of the other logical processors, and then loading initialization and secure virtual machine monitor software into memory. The initiating processor then loads the initialization software into secure memory for authentication and execution. The initialization software then authenticates and registers the secure virtual machine monitor software prior to secure system operations.

  • Publication number: 20150059007
    Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes verifying a master processor of a system; validating a trusted agent with the master processor if the master processor is verified; and launching the trusted agent on a plurality of processors of the system if the trusted agent is validated. After execution of such a trusted agent, a secure kernel may then be launched, in certain embodiments. The system may be a multiprocessor server system having a partially or fully connected topology with arbitrary point-to-point interconnects, for example.

  • Patent number: 8850098
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described herein for supporting direct memory accesses between peer I/O devices. It is determined whether a guest physical address (GPA) referenced by an access generated from an I/O device, is within a range of GPAs associated with local I/O devices based at least in part on a GPA base and a GPA window size. If the GPA is within the window, then the GPA is translated to an HPA based at least in part on a base HPA associated with a local device and then forwarded to that local device. However, if the GPA is not within the window, then the access is forwarded upstream.

  • Publication number: 20140280073
    Abstract: System, method and computer readable media embodiments are disclosed for performing event based analysis where a first query is performed on a first data source to obtain a first set of records based on a first event and a second query (independent from the first query) is performed on a second data source to obtain a second set of records based on a second event. Each set of records includes analysis dimension variable and a time dimension. A result set is generated by combining the first and second sets of records to find an intersection of the two sets based at least partly on the time dimension variables. A binary mapping is generated from the result set to establish a distinct set of values of the analysis dimension variable that match the intersection of the two sets.

  • Patent number: 8660266
    Abstract: Delivering a Direct Proof private key to a device installed in a client computer system in the field may be accomplished in a secure manner without requiring significant non-volatile storage in the device. A unique pseudo-random value is generated and stored in the device at manufacturing time. The pseudo-random value is used to generate a symmetric key for encrypting a data structure holding a Direct Proof private key and a private key digest associated with the device. The resulting encrypted data structure is stored on a protected on-line server accessible by the client computer system.
