A method for managing an agent includes verifying an integrity of the agent in response to a registration request. Memory protection is provided for the agent during integrity verification. An indication is generated when registration of the agent has been completed. According to one aspect of the present invention, providing memory protection includes having a virtual machine monitor limit access to the agent. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In one embodiment, the present invention includes a virtual machine monitor (VMM) to access a protection indicator of a page table entry (PTE) of a page of a set of memory buffers and determine a state of the protection indicator, and if the protection indicator indicates that the page is a user-level page and if certain information of an agent that seeks to use the page matches that in a protected memory address array, a page table base register (PTBR) is updated to a protected page table (PPT) base address. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Systems and methods are described herein that discuss how a computing platform executing a virtualized environment, in one example, can be integrity verified adaptively and on demand. This may occur at initial runtime, as well as during continued operations, and allows the platform user to install software from various vendors without sacrificing the integrity measurement and therefore the trustworthiness of the platform.

Disclosed is a method for restricting access of a first code of a plurality of codes and data of a first function from a second function. Thee method comprises calling the second function by the first function, addresses of the plurality of data may be stored in a stack page and colored in a first color (102). The method comprises performing access control check in a transition page for verifying whether the first function has permission to call the second function (104). Further the method comprises protecting the first code from the second function by coloring the data and/or addresses in a second color (106). Furthermore, the method comprises executing the second function by pushing addresses of the second function on the stack page, the addresses of the second function colored in a third color (108) and unprotecting the first code by coloring the addresses of the first code in the first color (110).

Embodiments of apparatuses and methods including virtual address memory range registers are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes a memory interface, address translation hardware, and virtual memory address comparison hardware. The memory interface is to access a system memory using a physical memory address. The address translation hardware is to support translation of a virtual memory address to the physical memory address. The virtual memory address is used by software to access a virtual memory location in the virtual memory address space of the processor. The virtual memory address comparison hardware is to determine whether the virtual memory address is within a virtual memory address range.

End-to-end security between clients and a server, and traffic visibility to intermediate network devices, achieved through combined mode, single pass encryption and authentication using two keys is disclosed. In various embodiments, a combined encryption-authentication unit includes a cipher unit and an authentication unit coupled in parallel to the cipher unit, and generates an authentication tag using an authentication key in parallel with the generation of the cipher text using an encryption key, where the authentication and encryption key have different key values. In various embodiments, the cipher unit operates in AES counter mode, and the authentication unit operates in parallel, in AES-GMAC mode Using a two key, single pass combined mode algorithm preserves network performance using a limited number of HW gates, while allowing an intermediate device access to the encryption key for deciphering the data, without providing that device the ability to compromise data integrity, which is preserved between the end to end devices.
