  • Patent number: 11797715
    Abstract: The technology disclosed herein enables a method to receive an indication of a change to an operating mode of a device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, and identify a cryptographic item stored at a memory of the device, wherein the cryptographic item corresponds to an identification of the device signed with a digital signature, and wherein the digital signature is based on a private key that is inaccessible to the device. On response to receiving the indication of the change to the operating mode of the device, the method can modify the cryptographic item stored at the memory, and operate the device in the second operating mode based on the modified cryptographic item. The indication of the change to the operating mode of the device can correspond to a detection of a change in a function of the device.

  • Patent number: 11627116
    Abstract: Encrypted first data and encrypted second data may be received, where each data is from different client servers. A request to perform an operation with the first data and the second data may be received. Whether the operation is authorized to be performed with the first data and the second data at an enclave may be verified. In response to verifying that the operation is authorized to be performed with the first data and the second data at the enclave, the encrypted first data and the encrypted second data may be decrypted to the first data and the second data, respectively. Furthermore, the operation may be performed with the first data and the second data at the enclave.

  • Patent number: 11627117
    Abstract: An encrypted search query may be received from a requesting client system at a secure enclave of a processing device. The encrypted search query may be decrypted to form a decrypted search query. One or more index entries of a metadata index that correspond to the decrypted search query may be identified, such that each identified index entry is associated with a content reference that identifies a content item located outside the secure enclave. The index entries that correspond to the decrypted search query may include one or more index entries having one or more associated index metadata items that correspond to the decrypted search query. One or more secure search results may be generated, such that each secure search result corresponds to one of the index entries and comprises the content reference associated with the corresponding index entry. The secure search results may be sent to the requesting client system.

  • Patent number: 11606279
    Abstract: An application may perform operations within a first secure enclave of a processing device. The application may provide secure monitoring data, such as secure heartbeat information. The monitoring data and an application identity may be verified at a second secure enclave of the processing device using local attestation operations. A remote attestation signature may be generated at the second secure enclave based on the monitoring data, the application identity, and a node private key. A monitoring message signature may be generated at the first secure enclave based on an application private key and a message payload that includes the monitoring data, the application identity, and the remote attestation signature. A monitoring message that includes the payload and monitoring message signature may be sent from the first secure enclave to a monitoring system, which may verify the message to detect unauthorized changes to the monitoring data or the application identity.

  • Patent number: 11399013
    Abstract: A request to perform an operation associated with a service instance may be received by a processing device. The service instance may have an associated service instance identifier. A proxy instance associated with the service instance may be identified. The proxy instance may perform operations within a secure enclave associated with the processing device. The proxy instance within the secure enclave associated with the processing device may be used to verify that the secure enclave associated with the processing device contains the service instance associated with the service instance identifier. When the verification is successful, the proxy instance within the secure enclave associated with the processing device may be used to send a request to the service instance to perform the operation.

  • Patent number: 11394546
    Abstract: An encrypted file system key associated with a first secure enclave may be received. A request from a second secure enclave to access a file system associated with the encrypted file system key may be received. In response to receiving the request, the encrypted file system key may be decrypted with a cryptographic key associated with an enclave manager to obtain a file system key. The file system key may be encrypted based on another cryptographic key associated with the second secure enclave to generate a re-encrypted file system key. Furthermore, the re-encrypted file system key may be provided to the second secure enclave.

  • Patent number: 10911538
    Abstract: Authentication information at a first portion of encrypted data may be identified. A cryptographic key may be derived based on a combination of an identification of the first portion of the received encrypted data and a master key. Additional authentication information may be generated based on a combination of the derived cryptographic key and another portion of the received encrypted data. The encrypted data may be verified by comparing the authentication information at the first portion of the received encrypted data with the generated additional authentication information. In response to verifying the received encrypted data, a second cryptographic key may be derived based on a combination of an identification of the another portion of the encrypted data and the master key. The other portion of the received encrypted data may be decrypted by using the second cryptographic key.
