Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Recently, secure processors have been recognized as effective means of protection of software running on untrustworthy hostile operating systems. L-MSP (License-controlling Multi-vendor Secure Processor) is a secure processor which provides strict protection against dynamic attacks on running software with manipulation of memory data and register value using OS privilege. Secure hardware context switch, which is the characteristic mechanism of L-MSP, prevents register value manipulation attack. But the mechanism brings much impact on process management of existing OSs such as Linux. In this report, a proposal of revised process management mechanism of Linux adapted to L-MSP's protection mechanism is presented. The result of testbed implementation supports effectiveness of proposed mechanism.
