Abstract

A disclosed example method involves when transitioning a processor system to a low-power mode, generating at least a first signature based on a data structure storing memory addresses of memory regions to be protected during the low-power mode. During a resume process of the processor system from the low-power mode, at least a second signature is generated based on the data structure storing the memory addresses of the memory regions to be protected during the low-power mode. When the first signature matches the second signature, the processor system resumes from the low-power mode. When the first signature does not match the second signature, an error is generated.
