Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to enforce policies for computing platform resources, such as to prevent denial of service (DoS) attacks on the computing platform resources. Some embodiments are particularly directed to ISA instructions that allow trusted software/applications to securely enforce policies on a platform resource/device while allowing untrusted software to control allocation of the platform resource. In many embodiments, the ISA instructions may enable secure communication between a trusted application and a platform resource. In several embodiments, a first ISA instruction implemented by microcode may enable a trusted application to wrap policy information for secure transmission through an untrusted stack. In several such embodiments, a second ISA instruction implemented by microcode may enable untrusted software to verify the validity of the wrapped blobs and program registers associated with the platform resource with policy information provided via the wrapped blobs.
