HARDWARE SECURITY FOR SOFTWARE PROCESSES

A system and method for secure processing is provided, wherein a monitor application is injected into a secure application binary within the security perimeter of a secure processor. The components of the monitor application are injected into different portions of the application binary utilizing a seed value. In this manner, the positioning of the monitor application in the application binary is altered each time the application binary is booted. After the monitor application is inserted into the application binary, the secure process is passed to the host processor for execution. During execution of the secure process, a system and method is provided for the monitor application to communicate, to the secure processor, attempts to tamper with or attack the secure process.
