Abstract :
This paper proposes a security paradigm named self-existent mechanism of access control. The most distinct character is that it runs absolutely independent from program executing environment, even without cooperation of OS. That is to say, it has a unique structure to assure that computing is controlled under a secure mechanism that cannot be penetrated by software like virus, Trojan and other malicious programs. This paper explains its principle, and describes how to accomplish such control over general computers. Also, this paper gives advice to the design of microprocessor to make this control mechanism to work better.
