  • Method and configuration for loading data for basic system routines of a data processing system
    Patent number: 6591366
    Abstract: A new operating system is provided with two layers having different access authorizations. For security reasons a memory for basic system routines can be accessed only from a kernel layer, but not from an application layer. By providing a respective program that is executable in the respective layer, it is possible, while complying with the security stipulations, for the memory to be accessed and, consequently, for a new version of the basic system routines to be made available to the data processing system.
