    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to a Converged Cryptographic Engine (CCE) for storage encryption are described. In an embodiment, decode circuitry decodes an instruction to determine whether Converged Cryptographic Engine (CCE) circuitry is enabled. Execution circuitry executes the instruction to program a plurality of keys in response to the CCE circuitry being enabled. The CCE circuitry performs all encryption and all decryption of data to be transferred between a memory and a storage device based at least in part on at least one of the plurality of keys. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies provide hardware-assisted privacy protection of sensor data. One embodiment includes unlocking a user interface coupled to a trusted execution environment of a processor in a device, where the user interface includes a plurality of selectable settings associated with a plurality of access levels for sensor data captured by a sensor. The embodiment also includes receiving a selection signal from the user interface indicating that a user selected a first setting associated with a first access level for the sensor data captured by the sensor, and restricting access to the sensor data based on a first set of one or more entities associated with the first access level. In more specific embodiments, the user interface includes a knob that is rotatably attached to a housing of the device or a privacy panel including a slider bar that is to be displayed on a touch screen display of the device.

    Abstract: Technologies disclosed herein provide a method for receiving at a device from a remote server, a request for state information from a first processor of the device, obtaining the state information from one or more registers of the first processor based on a request structure indicated by a first instruction of a software program executing on the device, and generating a response structure based, at least in part, on the obtained state information. The method further includes using a cryptographic algorithm and a shared key established between the device and the remote server to generate a signature based, at least in part, on the response structure, and communicating the response structure and the signature to the remote server. In more specific embodiments, both the response structure and the request structure each include a same nonce value.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to cryptographic protection of memory attached over interconnects are described. In an embodiment, memory stores data and a processor having execution circuitry executes an instruction to program an inline memory expansion logic and a host memory encryption logic with one or more cryptographic keys. The inline memory expansion logic encrypts the data to be written to the memory and decrypts encrypted data to be read from the memory. The memory is coupled to the processor via an interconnect endpoint of a system fabric. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and methods for securing data direct I/O (DDIO) for a secure accelerator interface, in accordance with various embodiments. Historically, DDIO has enabled performance advantages that have outweighed its security risks. DDIO circuitry may be configured to secure DDIO data by using encryption circuitry that is manufactured for use in communications with main memory along the direct memory access (DMA) path. DDIO circuitry may be configured to secure DDIO data by using DDIO encryption circuitry manufactured for use by or manufactured within the DDIO circuitry. Enabling encryption and decryption in the DDIO path by the DDIO circuitry has the potential to close a security gap in modern data central processor units (CPUs).
