Abstract
Memory access circuitry controls access to memory based on ownership information defining, for a given memory region, an owner realm specified from among two or more realms, each realm corresponding to at least a portion of a software processes running on processing circuitry. The owner realm has a right to exclude other realms from accessing data stored within the given memory region. When security configuration parameters for a given realm specify that the given realm is associated with a trusted intermediary realm identified by the security configuration parameters, the trusted intermediary realm may be allowed to perform at least one realm management function for the given realm, e.g. provision of secret keys and/or saving/restoring of security configuration parameters. This can enable use cases where multiple instances of the same realm with common parameters need to be established on the same system at different times or on different systems.
