Computing device and process for the recovery and safe storage of security data

A computing device with application programs (11.1, ..., 11.n) and an operating system (12), generate the safety messages, and with hardware components (13) for executing and storing the application programs (11.1, ..., 11.n ), further comprising a protected memory area (21) which is adapted predetermined security messages and other security-relevant data of the application programs (11.1, ..., 11.n store), and the operating system (12), and a securing device (22 ), which is formed on a firmware unit (25) a hardware component (14) so ​​as to perform access management to the protected memory area (21). The corresponding method as method steps comprises providing (32) a protected memory area (21) on a hardware component (14, 15) implementing (33) a safety device (22) with an access management for the protected storage area (21) on a firmware unit (25) a hardware component (14, 15) and storing (34) of predetermined security messages and other security-relevant data in the protected storage area (21).
