Filed:

Mar 16, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/696330

Inventors:

- Santa Clara CA, US
Hans Goran Liljestrand - Helsinki, FI
Peiming Liu - Dallas TX, US
David M. Durham - Beaverton OR, US
Scott Constable - Portland OR, US

Assignee:

Intel Corporation - Santa Clara CA

International Classification:

G06F 9/30
G06F 9/38

Abstract:

Techniques for ratchet pointers in computing hardware are described. The technology includes a memory to store an object referenced by a ratchet pointer, and a processor to provide access to a slice of the object by decrypting a base address and a limit of the ratchet pointer, generating a cryptographic address in an encrypted format bound to an identity of the object and not the slice; and performing effective address generation for the cryptographic address based at least in part on the base address and the limit.

Abstract:

Techniques for borrow checking in hardware are described. The technology includes allocating an object in a memory and setting an ownership identifier (ID) in the allocated object, the allocated object being associated with a first variable in a program and setting a matching ownership ID in a pointer to the allocated object. When the allocated object is accessed during execution of the program by a processor, an exception is generated when the ownership ID in the allocated object does not match the ownership ID in the pointer, and execution of the program is continued when the ownership ID in the allocated object does match the ownership ID in the pointer.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

An approach is provided for a secure remote access and control in a shared resource model. The approach involves initiating a logically separate instance of a virtual appliance using one or more shared computing resources of at least one shared resource provider. The approach also involves initiating an agent at an administrator system associated with the logically separate instance of the virtual appliance, wherein the agent services authentication requests directed to the virtual appliance by acting as a proxy or a push agent to the at least one shared resource provider.
