US Classification:

719328, 709220, 709221, 709227, 709229, 709250

Abstract:

A signal may be received in accordance with a protocol stack having a first portion () that contains a control layer and a stream layer, and a second portion () that contains a physical layer and a MAC layer. The first portion may invoke an application program interface (API ) to instruct the second portion to replace a current set of signal acquisition parameters with an initial set of signal acquisition parameters.

US Classification:

719328

Abstract:

Packets of information may be received in accordance with a protocol stack having a first portion () that contains a control layer and a stream layer, and a second portion () that contains a physical layer and a MAC layer. The second portion also maintains a group of inbound packets and respectively associated error statuses. The first portion invokes an application programming interface (API ) to instruct the second portion to perform an action with respect to at least one of the inbound packets, which action is related to the error status associated with that packet.

International Classification:

G06F 21/57
G06F 21/53

Abstract:

Techniques for mitigating attacks on an application operating in a trusted execution environment of a computing device are provided. An example method according to these techniques includes monitoring performance of the trusted application operating in the trusted execution environment of the computing device, determining whether an undesired behavior of the trusted application has occurred more than or equal to a threshold number of times, and executing a delayed restart process for the trusted application.

G06F 21/00

US Classification:

726 2

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for inheriting a non-secure thread context. In the method, a first secure monitor call associated with a first non-secure thread of a non-secure environment of a processing system is received. A first secure thread is created, in response to the first secure monitor call, that inherits a first interrupt state of the first non-secure thread.
