Abstract(in English) We focus on Memory Integrity Verificatoin that can detect memory corruption to the loading data by maintaining the state of the space of the memory for protection in a safe storage area. To waste on chip cache and the memory bandwidth, the execution of the Memory Integrity Verification gives a adverse effect to the processor performance. One of the factor of the performance decrease is causing competition between the data that the processor needs for the program execution and data for the Memory Integrity Verificatoin in cache. It happenes the memory access because of cache misses, and the processor performance decreases. To solve the issues, the data for Memory Integrity Verification is replaced in the cache line with low access frequency that is called Decay line. Therefore, it prevents evicting the data for program execution. We compare this method with past method, as a result, we can reduce the performance overhead by 23.8% on an average.
