Abstract:
Some implementations disclosed herein provide techniques and arrangements for provisioning keys to integrated circuits/processor. In one embodiments, a key provisioner/tester apparatus may include a memory device to receive a unique hardware key generated by a first logic of a processor. The key provisioner/tester apparatus may further include a cipher device to permanently store an encrypted first key in nonvolatile memory of the processor, detect whether the stored encrypted first key is valid, and to isolate at least one of the first logic and the nonvolatile memory of the processor from all sources that are exterior to the processor in response to detecting that the stored encrypted first key is valid.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit substrate of an aspect includes a plurality of exposed electrical contacts. The integrated circuit substrate also includes an inaccessible set of Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) cells to generate an inaccessible set of PUF bits that are not accessible through the exposed electrical contacts. The integrated circuit substrate also includes an accessible set of PUF cells to generate an accessible set of PUF bits that are accessible through the exposed electrical contacts. Other apparatus, methods, and systems are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Techniques for sharing private data objects in a trusted execution environment using a distributed ledger are described. The techniques described herein may enable sharing of data objects, referred to herein as private data objects (PDOs), between individuals and organizations with access and update policies mediated by execution of code (referred to herein as a “smart contract”) carried with the PDO in a secure enclave. A distributed ledger may serve as a “public commit log” to ensure that there is a single, authoritative instance of the object and provide a means of guaranteeing atomicity of updates across interacting objects.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to prevent unauthorized release of information associated with a function as a service are disclosed. A system disclosed herein operates on in-use information. The system includes a function as a service of a service provider that operates on encrypted data. The encrypted data includes encrypted in-use data. The system also includes a trusted execution environment (TEE) to operate within a cloud-based environment of a cloud provider. The function as a service operates on the encrypted data within the TEE, and the TEE protects service provider information from access by the cloud provider. The encrypted in-use data and the service provider information form at least a portion of the in-use information.

Abstract:
An apparatus for aggregating secured credentials is described herein. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes code causing the processor to provision a plurality of secured credentials on the apparatus. The code causes the processor to isolate the secured credentials from each other in the memory. The code also causes the processor to emulate a selected secured credential from the secured credentials for a transaction.
Abstract:
A processor of an aspect includes root key generation logic to generate a root key. The root key generation logic includes a source of static and entropic bits. The processor also includes key derivation logic coupled with the root key generation logic. The key derivation logic is to derive one or more keys from the root key. The processor also includes cryptographic primitive logic coupled with the root key generation logic. The cryptographic primitive logic is to perform cryptographic operations. The processor also includes a security boundary containing the root key generation logic, the key derivation logic, and the cryptographic primitive logic. Other processors, methods, and systems are also disclosed.
