Provided is a system and method for executing an encrypted software program within a host platform. The execution may be bifurcated among a trusted module and an untrusted area of the host platform. In one example, the method may include receiving bytecode and encrypted data of a software program, decrypting, via a secure memory area, the encrypted data into decrypted data, executing, via the secure memory area, instructions from the bytecode on the decrypted data to generate execution results, encrypting the generated execution results, and transmitting the encrypted execution results to a remote computing device.
