Especially for cryptography tasks hardware ISA should provide some basic security approaches to prevent physical, lifecycle and software attacks. What do you think are the security measures other than isolation (sandboxing)? How you plan making secure memory? Thanks.

Honestly I don't know at the moment. I plan on focusing on getting a basic microarchitecture simulated first. Once the basic simulation is working, we'll iteratively add on top of that optimizations, security, and anything else we need.

My philosophy for moving this project forward: http://wiki.c2.com/?MakeItWorkMakeItRightMakeItFast

Feel free to do research and provide any more insights to this issue. Thanks!
