GO
• Protects data in memory
• Hidden “color” bits added to
pointers (key), and content (lock)
• Pointer color (key) must match
content color or program is aborted
• Set on memory allocation, changed on
memory free
• Protects against access off end of
structure, stale pointer access and
malicious attacks
