Multi-compartment is a flexible, lightweight architecture for embedded systems that allows multiple protection domains (compartments) to securely share processing, memory and other system resources. Compartments run in physical address space and enjoy direct access to security-critical initiator devices, such as DMA devices, while remaining protected from one another.
