Abstract
Systems and methods for validating operation of a software sequence may include: monitoring signals on a bus of a processor, comparing the contents of the signals on the bus to pre-stored information from compile time. If the comparing generates a match, that may indicate that the software sequence is operating as intended. However, if the comparing generates a mismatch, that may indicate that the software sequence is not operating as intended and may, in fact, indicate a malicious use. Further actions can be taken in response to a mismatch, including resetting a processor, issuing an interrupt, and the like.
