Encoding globally available pointers helps protect them from being exploited. The EncodePointer function obfuscates the pointer value with a secret so that it cannot be predicted by an external agent. The secret used by EncodePointer is different for each process. A pointer must be decoded before it can be used.
A segment register is a register that contains the base address, or something related to the base address, of a region of memory. In the 8086/8088, the four segment registers â¦ are multiplied by 16 and added to the effective address to form the physical address. Code segment (CS) is a 16-bit register containing address of 64 KB segment with processor instructions. The processor uses CS segment for all accesses to instructions referenced by instruction pointer (IP) register.
