CMID: securely execute integrity checks of highly-critical software

DESCRIPTION

• CMID is a hybrid software-hardware trusted architecture for software integrity monitoring (security hypervisor and Trusted Hardware FPGA based component)
• Provide a highly secured environment for running a “guarded software”
• Risk of successfully corrupting the Trusted Hardware Component is extremely low
• Phase1: Trusted Hardware Component checks the integrity of the Security Hypervisor through challenges and environment checks
• Phase2: Security Hypervisor checks the integrity of the Guarded Software through an integrity function f provided by the developer of the guarded software

APPLICATIONS

• Data centers
• Secured IT infrastructures
• Embedded Systems
