Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for securing communication from an unprotected hardware bus. The described techniques may be implemented by placing a secure hardware bus between the unprotected hardware bus and a host computing device. The secure hardware bus acts as a filter to prevent delivery of unsafe data packets to the host computing device. The filtering may be particularly useful for preventing delivery of a data packet that would trigger a reboot of the host computing device.
