SecVisor: a tiny hypervisor to provide lifetime kernel code integrity for commodity OSes (2007, methodology): “The IBM 4758 secure coprocessor provides special hardware support for a “ratchet” mechanism, which locks OS memory and loaded modules after the ratchet mechanism has been incremented [7, 22].”

Terra: a virtual machine-based platform for trusted computing (2003, background): “Many applications studied in the context of secure coprocessors such as the IBM 4758 [22, 53] also lend themselves to implementation in this architecture.”
Distributed detection of node replication attacks in sensor networks (2005, background): “Cost considerations make it impractical to use shielding that could detect pressure, voltage, and temperature changes [11, 33, 36] that an adversary might use to access a sensor’s internal state.”
