摘要:
In an embodiment, a processor includes a binary translation (BT) container having code to generate a binary translation of a first code segment and to store the binary translation in a translation cache, a host entity logic to manage the BT container and to identify the first code segment, and protection logic to isolate the BT container from a software stack. In this way, the BT container is configured to be transparent to the software stack. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
A processor and method are described for managing different privilege levels associated with different types of program code, including binary translation program code. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises entering into one of a plurality of privilege modes responsive to detecting the execution of a corresponding one of a plurality of different types of program code including native executable program code, translated executable program code, and binary translation program code. In one embodiment, the binary translation program code includes sub-components each of which are associated with a different privilege level for improved security.
摘要:
A processing device provides a method for protecting a program from unauthorized copying. The processing device may include an encrypted version of the program. According to one example method, the processing device creates a secure enclave, and in response to a request to execute the encrypted program, the processing device automatically generates a decrypted version of the program in the secure enclave by decrypting the encrypted program in the secure enclave. After automatically generating the decrypted version of the program in the secure enclave, the processing device may automatically execute the decrypted version of the program in the secure enclave. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
