METHOD OF SECURELY CONTROLLING A COMPUTER OR MICROCHIP WITH A MASTER OR CENTRAL CONTROLLER CONNECTED BY A SECURE CONTROL BUS TO NETWORKED MICROPROCESSORS OR CORES

摘要

A method of securely controlling a computer or microchip through a private network. The computer or microchip includes a secure private unit protected by an inner hardware-based access barrier or firewall; an unprotected public unit including at least one network connection configured to connect to a network; a separate private network connection located in the secure private unit a microprocessor, core or processing unit configured for general purposes, in the unprotected public unit and separate from the access barrier or firewall; a master or central controlling device located in the secure private unit; and a secure control bus configured to connect the master or central controlling device with the microprocessor, core or processing unit. The secure control bus is isolated from input from both the network and components of the unprotected public unit. The method includes securely controlling an operation executed by the microprocessor, core or processing unit. The secure control is provided by the master or central controlling device through the separate private network to the separate private network connection via the secure control bus.
