Inventors include Lampka, Kai; Butt, Muhammad Aqib Javaid; Hildebrand, Uwe; and Tews, Hendrik.
The application for the patent was published on September 11, 2026, under issue no. 37/2026.
Abstract: A method of executing a safety-critical application (150) on a hardware platform (100) is proposed. The method includes executing, on the hardware platform (100), a hypervisor (120) with a monitoring component (130) for the safety-critical application (150), instantiating, by the hypervisor (120), at least one virtual machine (140) on a lower privilege level of the hardware platform than a privilege level of the hypervisor (120), providing a list of one or more predefined actions that, when executed by the processor core (112a, 112b), have a relevancy for an integrity and/or a functioning of the safety-critical application (150). The method further includes instructing, by the hypervisor (120), the processor core (112a, 112b) to when about to execute a to-be-performed action on the list, divert the control flow towards a respective handler (132) for this to-be-performed action in the monitoring component (130), and executing, in the at least one virtual machine (140), at least the safety-critical application (150) on top of a guest operating system (142). Further, a check whether to allow or disallow the action can be performed and/or at least one preparation for the to-be-performed action may be performed.
