            Abstract : 
In the past the computer architetures and technologies have only been optimized for speed - never for security. The aspects of IT-security were always disregarded. [1] shows that it is possible to write malware that can not be detected or removed from an infected system by software. Stealth-features are possible by special properties of the x86 architecture. This work describes a general hardware architecture, that will improve the security.
