Abstract: Information security has always been a key factor in computer and communication systems. Along with evolving security threats, new concepts are upgrading existing safety features to provide complete protection of data within and transferring between systems. This paper reviews various architectural solutions, which provide hardware means to enhance information security. These solutions are targeting both avoiding corrupt software gaining access to sensitive data and helping trusted security software maintain system integrity.
