== Notes ==

== Authenticated Mode ==
 +
===== Entry =====
 +
From non-secure mode, upon jumping to a page marked as secret, a secret fault occurs. This causes the CPU to verify the region specified in $cauth against the MAC loaded in $c6. If the comparison is successful, $pc is set to the base of the $cauth region. If the comparsion fails, the CPU is halted.
 +
 
 +
===== Exit =====
 +
The CPU automatically goes back to non-secure mode when returning back into non-secret pages.

Part of the information here (which hasn't made it into envytools documentation yet) was shared by [https://wiki.0x04.net/wiki/Marcin_Ko%C5%9Bcielnicki mwk] from reverse engineering falcon processors over the years.

Falcon tracks permission metadata about each crypto reg. Permissions include read/write ability per execution mode, as well as ability to use the reg for encrypt/decrypt, among other permissions. Permissions are propagated when registers are referenced by instructions (e.g. moving a value from read-protected $cX to $cY will result in $cY also being read-protected).
