20110099387METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENFORCING A PREDETERMINED MEMORY MAPPING - A system and a method are disclosed for enforcing a predetermined mapping of addresses in a physical address space to addresses in a virtual address space in a data processing system including a processor in the virtual address space and a memory in a physical address space. During the compilation and linking of an application to be run on the data processing system, in at least one embodiment, the mapping table is generated linking the virtual addresses to physical addresses. This mapping table is kept secret. A second mapping table is generated using a cryptographic function of the physical address with the virtual address as a key to link virtual addresses to intermediate addresses. The second mapping table is loaded into the memory management unit. The data processing system further includes cryptographic hardware to convert the intermediate address to the physical address using the inverse of the cryptographic function which was used to calculate the intermediate address.04-28-2011

20090319741SECURE MEMORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD - The present invention describes a system and a method for securely loading digital information from a storage device into a memory module in a data processing system, said data processing system comprising at least one storage device, one memory module and at least one processor, said data processing system further comprising a memory access controller module connected between the processor and the memory module, and a secure memory management module connected to the processor, the memory module, the storage device and the memory access controller. Requests by the processor for data are passed to the secure memory management module, which loads the data from the storage device to the memory module and configures the memory access controller such that the processor will have access to the data.12-24-2009
20110075843UNIT AND METHOD FOR SECURE PROCESSING OF ACCESS CONTROLLED AUDIO/VIDEO DATA - Unit for secure processing access controlled audio/video data capable of receiving control messages(ECM) comprising at least one first control word (CW03-31-2011
20110131389METHOD FOR UPDATING DATA IN MEMORIES USING A MEMORY MANAGEMENT UNIT - A method for updating, in the background, data stored in physical memories without affecting the current operations performed by the microprocessor. When the update is completely terminated, the application switches from an old version to a new version. This switching occurs by a reconfiguration of the page table during which a first sub-tree structure of pointers accessing the old version of data stored in memories is replaced by a second sub-tree structure of pointers thus allowing access to the new version of data. This update method prevents incoherent transitory states of the system as the latter works with the previous data version until the installation of the new version becomes usable. In the case of an interruption to the update process, the application can always reinitialize the update since the old version of data can be reactivated by returning to the previous configuration of the page table.06-02-2011
20110154042METHOD AND PROCESSING UNIT FOR SECURE PROCESSING OF ACCESS CONTROLLED AUDIO/VIDEO DATA - A method based on access conditions verification performed by two conditional access devices consecutively on a control message before releasing a control word to a descrambler. The control message encapsulates a second part including another control message. The processing unit for carrying out the method comprises a first conditional access device connected to a second conditional access device provided with a descrambler and a secured processor or secured hardware logic. The control message and the second part are each encrypted and accompanied by respectively first and second authentication data. The first conditional access device decrypts and verifies integrity of the control message, verifies the first access conditions and transmits the second part to the second access control device. The second conditional access device decrypts and verifies integrity of the second part and further verifies the second access conditions, and releases and loads the control word into the descrambler.06-23-2011

20100187047SPECIAL OPERATING MODE FOR STOPPING AN ELEVATOR CAR - The elevator car is arranged movably along guideways and in the special operating mode is decelerated to a standstill and kept at a standstill by a braking device, by a braking force brought about by the braking device together with a brakeway. A required deceleration to bring the elevator car to a standstill within a next-possible exit zone in the special operating mode is calculated, furthermore a stopping of the elevator car is detected if a sudden change in the braking force or the acceleration is established and the braking force of the braking device is set to a holding force when the stopping is established. The special operating mode results in the elevator car coming to a stop directly in the region of an exit zone in a special operating mode and passengers in the car being able to leave the elevator car independently.07-29-2010
