Modern computer processors lack the security to prevent software and hardware attacks, including:
A Helios Processing System (HPS) integrates Helios Memory Guard (HMG) with a processor to provide a fully integrated and validated secure processor IP package. For load-time security, instructions and data are decrypted and authenticated against the software developer’s and/or original equipment manufacturer’s keys. For runtime security, HPS decrypts and authenticates every instruction and data cache line—in hardware—using ephemeral keys that roll on every write. Additionally, HPS enforces cryptographic isolation and authentication of instructions and data, ensuring instructions cannot be authored by an adversary at runtime.
