System and method for effectively implementing an immunity mode in an electronic device

Abstract

A system and method for effectively implementing an immunity mode in an electronic device includes a processor module for executing processing tasks for the electronic device. The processor module includes processor information, such as processor states and processor data, for executing the processing tasks. The electronic device also includes a protected memory for storing electronic information in an optimally secure manner. An immunity manager may then perform protection procedures to store at least a portion of the vulnerable processor information into the protected memory in response to an immunity mode trigger event such as the processor module entering an idle state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to techniques for effectively implementing electronic devices, and more particularly, to systems and methods for effectively implementing immunity modes in electronic devices. Background technique [0002] Developing techniques for efficient implementation of electronic devices is closely watched by designers and producers of current electronic systems. However, effectively implementing an electronic system can present serious challenges to the system designer. For example, increased system functionality and increased performance requirements will require higher system processing capabilities and require additional hardware resources. Increases in processing or hardware requirements also result in corresponding adverse economic impacts due to increased manufacturing costs and operational inefficiencies. [0003] In addition, improved system capabilities to perform various high-level operations will provide addi...
