Greetings, Is there some way to trap or detect when some other program is trying to read memory used by another program? For example, I have an encryption/decryption daemon that holds its key in memory. I have been told that there is really no way to protect the memory used by the daemon in the case of a root compromise. However, if I could somehow detect another program trying to access my daemon's memory space, then I could have the daemon dump the key and shutdown. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
