Abstract

In one embodiment, the present invention provides for extended memory protection for memory of a system. The embodiment includes a method for associating a protection indicator of a protection record maintained outside of an application's data space with a memory location, and preventing access to the memory location based on the status of the protection indicator. In such manner, more secure operation is provided, as malicious code or other malware is prevented from accessing protected memory locations. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
