Abstract

A combined architecture is described to protect the system against malicious attacks as well as unplanned system failures. Discussions are laid on its characteristics, structure, safety assurance technologies. Safety kernel (shell) and integrity policy for criticality are used to ensure the system safety. Furthermore, to implement rules of integrity policy, the reflective technology based on metaobject is adopted and how to apply reflective technology to implement these rules is analyzed in details. Finally, an experiment illuminates the feasibility of the proposed architecture.
