  • Patent number: 11907361
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for protecting the confidentiality and integrity of a secure object running on a computer system by protecting the memory pages owned by the secure object, including assigning a secure object an ID, labeling the memory pages owned by a secure object with the ID of the secure object, maintaining an Access Control Monitor (ACM) table for the memory pages on the system, controlling access to memory pages by monitoring load and store instructions and comparing information in the ACM table with the ID of the software that is executing these instructions; and limiting access to a memory page to the owner of the memory page.

  • Patent number: 11093674
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for generating clock signals for a cycle accurate FPGA based hardware accelerator used to simulate operations of a device-under-test (DUT). In one embodiment, the DUT includes multiple device clocks generating multiple device clock signals at multiple frequencies and at a defined frequency ratio; and the FPG hardware accelerator includes multiple accelerator clocks generating multiple accelerator clock signals to operate the FPGA hardware accelerator to simulate the operations of the DUT. In one embodiment, operations of the DUT are mapped to the FPGA hardware accelerator, and the accelerator clock signals are generated at multiple frequencies and at the defined frequency ratio of the frequencies of the multiple device clocks, to maintain cycle accuracy between the DUT and the FPGA hardware accelerator. In an embodiment, the FPGA hardware accelerator may be used to control the frequencies of the multiple device clocks.

  • Patent number: 11047907
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product are disclosed for using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) to simulate operations of a device under test (DUT). The DUT includes a device memory having a number of input ports, and the FPGA is associated with a target memory having a second number of input ports, the second number being less than the first number. In one embodiment, a given set of inputs is applied to the device memory at a frequency Fd and in a defined cycle of time, and the given set of inputs is applied to the target memory at a frequency Ft. Ft is greater than Fd and cycle accuracy is maintained between the device memory and the target memory. In an embodiment, a cycle accurate model of the DUT memory is created by separating the DUT memory interface protocol from the target memory storage array.

  • Publication number: 20210067256
    Abstract: Embodiments include techniques for transmitting and receiving radio frequency (RF) signals, where the techniques for generating, via a digital analog converter (DAC), a frequency signal, and filtering the frequency signal to produce a first filtered signal and a second filtered signal. The techniques also include transmitting the second filtered signal to a device under test and filtering the second filtered signal into a sub-signal having one or more components. The techniques include mixing the first filtered signal with the sub-signal to produce a first mixed signal, subsequently mixing the first mixed signal with an output signal received from the device under test to produce a second mixed signal and converting the second mixed signal for analysis.

  • Patent number: 10904226
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method for a secure processing environment for protecting sensitive information is provided. The processor-implemented method may include receiving encrypted data and routing the encrypted data to the secure processing environment. Then the encrypted data may be decrypted and fields containing sensitive information may be found. The method may also include obfuscating the sensitive information and returning, by the secure processing environment, the decrypted data and obfuscated data.

  • Publication number: 20200272196
    Abstract: An aspect includes a direct digital synthesis system including a waveform generator with a waveform memory operable to store a plurality of waveform vectors and output a selected waveform vector. The direct digital synthesis system also includes a digital-to-analog converter operable to convert the selected waveform vector from a digital value to an analog signal responsive to a reference clock. The direct digital synthesis system further includes a controller operable to maintain phase continuity of the analog signal when an output of the analog signal is interrupted and restored.

  • Patent number: 10628579
    Abstract: A processor in a computer system, the processor including a mechanism supporting a Secure Object that comprises information that is protected so that other software on said computer system cannot access or undetectably tamper with said information, thereby protecting both a confidentiality and an integrity of the Secure Object information while making the Secure Object information available to the Secure Object itself during execution of the Secure Object. The mechanism includes a crypto mechanism that decrypts and integrity-checks Secure Object information as said Secure Object information moves into the computer system from an external storage system, and encrypts and updates an integrity value for Secure Object information as said Secure Object information moves out of the computer system to the external storage system, and a memory protection mechanism that protects the confidentiality and integrity of Secure Object information when that information is in the memory of the computer system.
