On the use of trusted objects to enforce isolation between processes and data

This paper highlights the problem of run-time execution correctness of high-consequence applications in conventional Von Neumann computer architectures. It proposes an approach, trusted objects, in which the application program and data are cryptographically encapsulated in their own environment. Th...

Description
Summary:This paper highlights the problem of run-time execution correctness of high-consequence applications in conventional Von Neumann computer architectures. It proposes an approach, trusted objects, in which the application program and data are cryptographically encapsulated in their own environment. The remainder of the paper is organized as follows: after presenting a description of trusted objects, their creation, and their execution, their potential applications are described. Finally, issues and problems requiring further research are discussed.
