Research on Hardware Built-in Computer Safety

This article discusses the available concepts of hardware visualization techniques that enhance the computer system safety. Firstly it describes the existent methods such as execute disable bit (EDB) capability and virtual machine architecture (VMA) that are implemented in the general purpose processors. Then it introduces the execution disabling policies (EDP) method derived from the EDB capability. The EDP will provide an execution policing service that may be guaranteed by hardware for a function call. In this case every program will have a hardware verified certification to do a certain function. The article also introduces the concept of memory visualization based hardware cryptography being the enhancement to EDP and VMA
