Abstract
In a microprocessor, a program key for decrypting a program and a data key for encrypting/decrypting data processed by the program are handled as cryptographically inseparable pair inside the microprocessor, so that it becomes possible for the microprocessor to protect processes that actually execute the program, without an intervention of the operating system, and it becomes possible to conceal secret information of the program not only from the other user program but also from the operating system.
