Abstract
A system and method for hardware implementations of policy-based secure computing environments for Internet enabled devices. The present invention facilitates a secure computing environment for any Internet enabled device where policy rules can be described as hardware components that allow or deny access to resources on the device. A compiler produces a hardware description language (HDL) of the hardware components based on given policy rules for that component. The system may be partially or completely implemented in hardware to address inherent limitations of a software only solution. The invention provides greater flexibility to the overall system in terms of performance, security, and expressiveness of the policy rules that must be executed.
