Abstract

The disclosed technology is generally directed to network security for processors. In one example of the technology, a computing device includes: a processor, a memory, and a network interface. The computing device executes a first binary within a first region of the memory, executes a separate second binary within a second region of the memory, and prevents the second binary from accessing the first region of the memory. The first binary implements a kernel configured to control the network interface, while the separate second binary implements a network stack that is restricted to communicate only with an identified set of trusted servers.
