| 20090307783 | DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, METHOD, PROGRAM, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, AND PROGRAM GENERATING DEVICE - A data processing apparatus controls execution of debugging of a program performed by a debugger. The program includes a verification value used for judgment on whether to permit the debugging, and an access control list that shows whether to permit an access to each of parts constituting the program. The data processing apparatus acquires a debugger ID of the debugger from the debugger, and the verification value and the access control list included in the program. The data processing apparatus judges whether to permit the debugging, according to the result of comparison between the debugger ID and the verification value. The data processing apparatus permits an access to a part of the program to be debugged when the access control list shows that the access is permitted. The data processing apparatus does not permit the access to the part when the access control list shows that the access is not permitted. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090320110 | SECURE BOOT WITH OPTIONAL COMPONENTS METHOD - A method is executed which is for managing the optional trusted components that are active within a device, such that the device itself controls the availability of trusted components. The device includes: a storing unit which stores a plurality of pieces of software and a plurality of certificates; a receiving unit which receives the certificates; and a selecting unit which selects one of the certificates. The device further includes an executing unit which verifies an enabled one of the plurality of pieces of software using the selected and updated one of the certificates. | 12-24-2009 |
