Abstract
The present invention is a method and apparatus for efficiently using existing cache memory in a virtual memory computer system for servicing different demands for such memory. Moreover, the method and apparatus of the present invention, provides a way for authenticating untrusted virtual memory managers (VMMs) and untrusted pagers, which use and supply such caching services. The method and apparatus for authenticating the VMM and pagers can be practiced in an object oriented programming environment or in a non-object oriented environment.
