Abstract
A system and method for effectively implementing an immunity mode in an electronic device includes a processor module for executing processing tasks for the electronic device. The processor module includes processor information, such as processor states and processor data, for executing the processing tasks. The electronic device also includes a protected memory for storing electronic information in an optimally secure manner. An immunity manager may then perform protection procedures to store at least a portion of the vulnerable processor information into the protected memory in response to an immunity mode trigger event such as the processor module entering an idle state.
