Development of a programming model for the AEGIS secure processor

In this thesis, a high level programming model for the AEGIS secure processor is designed and implemented. The AEGIS processor enables developers to create trusted systems, while only needing to trust the AEGIS processor. In order for developers to utilize the processor, there was a need for high level access to the low level AEGIS constructs. There was also a need for a practical programming model to describe how to correctly design and develop applications utilizing the AEGIS system. The implementation of this programming model was done using a combination of C, Java, and Assembly.
