【摘要】It is possible to prevent an unauthorized use of a privileged command and a library
function by an application process. A concept of a security gate is established.
A command requesting OS to enter the security gate is arranged at a head of a library
function arranged at a highly reliable memory area which cannot be easily tampered
such as a ROM and a command requesting OS to leave the security gate is arranged
at the end of the library function, so that the security level is modified to a higher
level only when the application process is in the sate of inside the security gate,
thereby temporarily executing a privileged command.
