Abstract:
Secure memory repartitioning technologies are described. Embodiments of the disclosure may include a processing device including a processing core and a memory controller coupled between the processor core and a memory device. The memory device includes a memory range including a section of convertible pages that are convertible to secure pages or non-secure pages. The processor core is to receive a non-secure access request to a page in the memory device, responsive to a determination, based on one or more secure state bits in one or more secure state bit arrays, that the page is a secure page, insert an abort page address into a translation lookaside buffer, and responsive to a determination, based on the one or more secure state bits in the one or more secure state bit arrays, that the page is a non-secure page, insert the page into the translation lookaside buffer.
Abstract:
A computing platform implements one or more secure enclaves including a first provisioning enclave to interface with a first provisioning service to obtain a first attestation key from the first provisioning service, a second provisioning enclave to interface with a different, second provisioning service to obtain a second attestation key from the second provisioning service, and a provisioning certification enclave to sign first data from the first provisioning enclave and second data from the second provisioning enclave using a hardware-based provisioning attestation key. The signed first data is used by the first provisioning enclave to authenticate to the first provisioning service to obtain the first attestation key and the signed second data is used by the second provisioning enclave to authenticate to the second provisioning service to obtain the second attestation key.
Abstract:
A processor to support platform migration of secure enclaves is disclosed. In one embodiment, the processor includes a memory controller unit to access secure enclaves and a processor core coupled to the memory controller unit. The processor core to identify a control structure associated with a secure enclave. The control structure comprises a plurality of data slots and keys associated with a first platform comprising the memory controller unit and the processor core. A version of data from the secure enclave is associated with the plurality of data slots. Migratable keys are generated as a replacement for the keys associated with the control structure. The migratable keys control access to the secure enclave. Thereafter, the control structure is migrated to a second platform to enable access to the secure enclave on the second platform.
Abstract:
A processor includes a decode unit to decode an instruction that is to indicate a page of a protected container memory, and a storage location outside of the protected container memory. An execution unit, in response to the instruction, is to ensure that there are no writable references to the page of the protected container memory while it has a write protected state. The execution unit is to encrypt a copy of the page of the protected container memory. The execution unit is to store the encrypted copy of the page to the storage location outside of the protected container memory, after it has been ensured that there are no writable references. The execution unit is to leave the page of the protected container memory in the write protected state, which is also valid and readable, after the encrypted copy has been stored to the storage location.
Abstract:
Technologies for secure access to platform security services include a computing device having a processor and a security engine. The computing device establishes a platform services enclave in a virtual machine of the computing device using secure enclave support of the processor. The platform services enclave receives a platform services request from an application enclave via a first authenticated session and transmits the platform services request to a virtual security engine established by a host environment via a second authenticated session. The first and second authenticated sessions may be authenticated by report-based attestation and quote-based attestation, respectively. The virtual security engine transmits the platform services request to the security engine via a long-term pairing session established by the virtual security engine with the security engine. The security engine performs the platform services request using hardware resources shared with other platform services enclaves. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A processor implementing techniques to supporting fault information delivery is disclosed. In one embodiment, the processor includes a memory controller unit to access an enclave page cache (EPC) and a processor core coupled to the memory controller unit. The processor core to detect a fault associated with accessing the EPC and generate an error code associated with the fault. The error code reflects an EPC-related fault cause. The processor core is further to encode the error code into a data structure associated with the processor core. The data structure is for monitoring a hardware state related to the processor core.
Abstract:
A processor for supporting secure memory intent is disclosed. The processor of the disclosure includes a memory execution unit to access memory and a processor core coupled to the memory execution unit. The processor core is to receive a request to access a convertible page of the memory. In response to the request, the processor core to determine an intent for the convertible page in view of a page table entry (PTE) corresponding to the convertible page. The intent indicates whether the convertible page is to be accessed as at least one of a secure page or a non-secure page.
