Abstract:
Technologies for securing an electronic device include determining addresses of one or more memory pages, injecting for each memory page a portion of identifier data into the memory page, storing an indication of the identifier data injected into each of the memory pages, determining an attempt to access at least one of the memory pages, determining any of the identifier data present on a memory page associated with the attempt, comparing the indication of the identifier data with the determined identifier data present on the memory page, and, based on the comparison, determining whether to allow the access.
