In this article, a partitioning microkernel (PMK) or equivalent means for imposing memory partitioning and isolation prior to exposing data to a target operating system or process, and conducts continuing memory management whereby data is validated by security checks before or between sequential processing steps.
Abstract
A computing system contains and uses a partitioning microkernel (PMK) or equivalent means for imposing memory partitioning and isolation prior to exposing data to a target operating system or process, and conducts continuing memory management whereby data is validated by security checks before or between sequential processing steps. The PMK may be used in conjunction with an Object Request Broker.

Patent

Network browser based virus detection

TL;DR: In this article, a malware detection manager defines and employs a quarantine bin, which is an isolated and secure memory space or directory for temporary placement of file packets during the file transmission while malware detection can commence.
Patent

Trusted operating environment for malware detection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe techniques and apparatuses for scanning a computing device for malware on a removable data storage medium using a trusted operating system and a trusted antivirus tool.
Patent

Hibernation or suspend using a non-volatile-memory device

TL;DR: In this paper, techniques for using a nonvolatile memory device such as flash memory to store memory data during hibernation or suspend are described, and they show that hard drives and/or data are safer, and less power may be used.
Patent

Communications device with a plurality of processors and compatibility synchronization module for processor upgrades and related method

TL;DR: In this article, a compatibility synchronization module has been proposed for verifying if the software version for a processor is compatible with other software versions at other processors and instructs a respective device subsystem to revert back to a compatible software version within a respective processor or prevent any incompatible software updates within the processor.
