Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed technology that can fence off microprocessor bugs. The “semantic guardian” is a tiny monitor that lives on the microprocessor. It can identify untested states and then slow down the processor by kicking it into a safe mode. Security experts think bugs may enable a new wave of hacking attacks on microprocessor chips. The team is now trying to get it up and running on a programmable microchip called a field-programmable gate array. In their current design, the monitor takes up about 3 percent of the chip’s real estate, but they expect that it would be much smaller.”]
