CPU Security

[jcw150]

I have a question at college on an assignment to describe CPU security and I cannot find anything about it so does anyone know what they could be on about?

I've never heard of it either, what the hell is this?

I reckon it's related to cpu-based encryption/decryption of data

As far as I can tell there is no such as cpu security, it doesn't make much sense as nothing is long term stored in the cpu, maybe they are dumb and using the wrong terminology, but I've no idea, good luck on it.

I'm imagining a padlocked CPU.

they may mean computer security as some people shorten computer to CPU...

[AresKrieger]

??? Cpu security, do them mean firmware security?? Or are they high.

That makes a lot more sense

You might find that it's down to "backdoors" in CPU architecture. Things like this http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2421402/serious-intel-cpu-security-exploit-spotted-in-old-x86-chips

 

Still, it's an odd question, I wouldn't really consider CPU security a thing, unless they means general system security, not CPU.

Is this referencing the cpu as the chip itself, or the cpu as the entire desktop minus keyboard, mouse and monitor? What class is this for?

It referencing CPU itself I think

I'm gonna talk about that although it may not be right at least its something

 

Thanks

The vPro platform from Intel also deals with security: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/vpro/vpro-technology-general.html

Not the best with that kinda stuff, suppose I should learn?

In the defense of people having not heard of this before, I kinda need to know all this crap

CPU Security? What on earth is that?

AMD made some videos on Youtube about it...
