Abstract
The present invention is directed to a distributed architecture of an information handling system, including a buried nucleus inaccessible for inspection without heroic means while the buried nucleus is in operation, and a trusted authority for generating a secure protocol. The secure protocol controls the operation of the buried nucleus.
Claims9
A method for protecting encrypted information, comprising steps of:
- (a) setting a buried nucleus in a quasi-stable mode of operation;
- and
- (b) stopping clocking when said buried nucleus deviates from said quasi-stable mode.
An apparatus for protecting encrypted information, comprising:
- (a) means for setting a buried nucleus in a quasi-stable mode of operation;
- and
- (b) means for stopping clocking when said buried nucleus deviates from said quasi-stable mode.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing a method comprising steps of:
- (a) setting a buried nucleus in a quasi-stable mode of operation;
- and
- (b) stopping clocking when said buried nucleus deviates from said quasi-stable mode.
