Security In Silicon: Silicon Secured Memory
• Database in-memory places terabytes of data in memory
– More vulnerable to corruption by bugs/attacks than storage

• Silicon Secured Memory implements fine grained memory

protection with negligible impact on performance
• Hidden “color” bits added to pointers (key), and content (lock)
• Pointer color (key) must match content color or program is
aborted
– Set on memory allocation, changed on memory free

• Helps prevent access off end of structure, stale pointer access, STOP
malicious attacks, etc. plus improves developer productivity Memory Memory
