Description
Summary:AEGIS is a single-chip secure processor that can be used to protect the integrity and confidentiality of an application program from both physical and software attacks. We briefly describe the history behind this architecture and its key features, discuss main observations and lessons from the project, and list limitations of AEGIS and how recent research addresses them.
