  • Dynamic switching between pointer authentication regimes
    Patent number: 11748468
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable the interoperability between processes configured for pointer authentication and processes that are not configured for pointer authentication. Enabling the interoperability between such processes enables essential libraries, such as system libraries, to be compiled with pointer authentication, while enabling those libraries to still be used by processes that have not yet been compiled or configured to use pointer authentication.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 8, 2021
    Date of Patent: September 5, 2023
    Assignee: Apple Inc.
    Inventors: Bernard J. Semeria, Devon S. Andrade, Jeremy C. Andrus, Ahmed Bougacha, Peter Cooper, Jacques Fortier, Louis G. Gerbarg, James H. Grosbach, Robert J. McCall, Daniel A. Steffen, Justin R. Unger
  • DYNAMIC SWITCHING BETWEEN POINTER AUTHENTICATION REGIMES
    Publication number: 20220027452
