摘要:
Instructions and logic provide advanced paging capabilities for secure enclave page caches. Embodiments include multiple hardware threads or processing cores, a cache to store secure data for a shared page address allocated to a secure enclave accessible by the hardware threads. A decode stage decodes a first instruction specifying said shared page address as an operand, and execution units mark an entry corresponding to an enclave page cache mapping for the shared page address to block creation of a new translation for either of said first or second hardware threads to access the shared page. A second instruction is decoded for execution, the second instruction specifying said secure enclave as an operand, and execution units record hardware threads currently accessing secure data in the enclave page cache corresponding to the secure enclave, and decrement the recorded number of hardware threads when any of the hardware threads exits the secure enclave.

Embodiments of an invention for memory management in secure enclaves are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes an instruction unit and an execution unit. The instruction unit is to receive a first instruction and a second instruction. The execution unit is to execute the first instruction, wherein execution of the first instruction includes allocating a page in an enclave page cache to a secure enclave. The execution unit is also to execute the second instruction, wherein execution of the second instruction includes confirming the allocation of the page.

A system and apparatus for data confidentiality in a distributed ledger are disclosed. The system and apparatus preserve qualities of distributed ledgers, such as transparency, integrity, and redundancy, while also providing confidentiality, scalability, and security not previously available in distributed ledgers. The system includes a data confidentiality module that exploits a trusted execution environment for both transaction processing and key synchronization. The apparatus accessing the distributed ledger provides for new nodes joining the network, sending transactions to the ledger by existing nodes, securely processing the transaction using the trusted execution environment, securing transmission to the logic layer for application of business logic, reading and writing data to local storage, and reading encrypted transactions.
摘要:
Embodiments of apparatus, computer-implemented methods, systems, devices, and computer-readable media are described herein for identifying and encrypting a subset of a plurality of instructions, for execution in a more secure execution environment. In various embodiments, the subset may include a single entry point and a single exit point. In various embodiments, one or more instructions of the plurality of instructions that precede or follow the subset may be executed in a first execution environment with a first security level. In various embodiments, the subset may be executed in a second execution environment with a second security level that is more secure than the first security level.
