Artificial Consciousness and Security
  This paper describes a possible way to improve computer security by
implementing a program which implements the following three features related to
a weak notion of artificial consciousness: (partial) self-monitoring, ability
to compute the truth of quantifier-free propositions and the ability to
communicate with the user. The integrity of the program could be enhanced by
using a trusted computing approach, that is to say a hardware module that is at
the root of a chain of trust. This paper outlines a possible approach but does
not refer to an implementation (which would need further work), but the author
believes that an implementation using current processors, a debugger, a
monitoring program and a trusted processing module is currently possible.
