System and method for providing limited utilization run time application control as a service in microcontrollers

A method comprising:

• setting an access permission for controlled data stored by a memory device based on authorization data stored in the memory device and based on a comparison of an elapsed access duration to a granted access duration, the authorization data indicating a number of authorized accesses a processor device is granted to the controlled data, a count of authorized accesses to the controlled data, and a granted access duration;
• receiving, from the processor device, a request to access controlled data, stored in a memory device;
• determining whether the access permission is consistent with the request;
• and
• in response to determining the access permission to be consistent with the request:
• initiating access to the controlled data;
• and
• updating the count of authorized accesses.

A computer readable storage device storing instructions executable by one or more processors to manage, at a microcontroller device, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to:

• set an access permission for controlled data stored by a memory device based on authorization data stored in the memory device and based on a comparison of an elapsed access duration to a granted access duration, the authorization data to indicate a number of authorized accesses to the controlled data granted to a processor device, a count of authorized accesses to the controlled data, and a granted access duration;
• receive, from the processor device, a request to access the controlled data;
• determine whether the access permission is consistent with the request;
• and
• in response to determining the access permission to be consistent with the request:
• initiate access to the controlled data;
• and
• update the count of authorized accesses.
