Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for state switching. The method is applied to a first hardware system. The first hardware system is connected with a second hardware system. The first hardware system has a first operation state and a second operation state. The second hardware system includes a memory unit. The memory unit has a first access state and a second access state. The memory unit is in the first access state currently. The method includes: the first hardware system sends an access state switching instruction to the second hardware system when the first hardware system enters the second operation state from the first operation state, wherein, the access state switching instruction is adapted to switch the memory unit of the second hardware system from the first access state to the second access state. The application of the present invention can ensure the security of key data, avoid the access of key data by malicious software, reduce the implementation costs and has a higher extensibility.
