This is the first time AMD has licensed from ARM, and the extent of the cooperation is focused upon security. In 2004 ARM developed security extensions called TrustZone Technology, a security technology that functions across advanced computing platforms. TrustZone technology essentially prevents information from being leaked through enabling the application core to switch between a trusted closed network and a broader public one. This two-core system allows for a more protective inner system for applications like cloud-based date, online payments and banking, software license management (protecting digital rights), and anti-malware.
