Patent №: 12045176 (July 23, 2024) – Memory protection with hidden inline metadata. An apparatus includes processor cores, computer memory, and cache memory. Some processor cores embed hidden inline metadata in cachelines, concealed at the linear address level.
Patent №: 12045174 (July 23, 2024) – Tagless implicit integrity with multi-perspective pattern search. This disclosure describes a method for ensuring memory safety by decrypting data with various pointer tag versions, performing entropy tests, and signaling an exception if patterns are detected in any decrypted version.
Patent №: 12045128 (July 23, 2024) – Secure error correcting code (ECC) trust execution environment (TEE) configuration metadata encoding. The technology includes memory storing pages in either TEE or non-TEE configurations and a memory controller that accesses a page using a memory address and TEE configuration, generating a first ECC. If the first ECC data is correct or correctable, it attempts access with the non-TEE configuration, generating a second ECC. If the second ECC data is correct or correctable, it stores the memory address as an unknown cacheline address.
