Secure Processor using Opcode Diversity

Space Micro's Processor with Opcode Diversity (POD) is built from Space Micro's innovative security elements and tools, including our patent pending Object Level FirewallsT and AutoSafeT security technologies. The combination provides a low risk path for the development of a microprocessor integrated circuit that protects software and operating systems from software engineer's development station, through delivery and while operating in the POD. All elements of the POD are fully protected, including cache, execution units, input/output buses and external memory. Design features prevent access to executing opcodes while in operation. Space Micro's security technologies provide the capability to tie specific software to specific POD processors and authorized personnel, plus the capability to set security policy within the software itself. AutoSafe also addresses the software development environment and management of encryption keys, creating a system that can be used by minimally trained field personnel, plus automatically develop secure software with Protect, Detect and React capabilities.
