Patent number: 12153689Abstract: Examples of enrollment of virtual devices for unprivileged users are described. In some examples, a virtual device includes an enrollment agent, encrypted enrollment credentials, and a user mode privilege elevation component that elevates privilege of the enrollment agent. A privilege elevated token is created to include an administrative privilege of a local security authority service, and a security context of an unprivileged user account logged in to the virtual device. The enrollment agent is launched using the privilege elevated token rather than a user token of a user that is logged in. The enrollment agent decrypts the encrypted enrollment credentials based on administrative privilege of the privilege elevated token, and enrolls the virtual device with a management service using decrypted enrollment credentials.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Omnissa, LLCInventors: Chris Halstead, Kevin B.

Patent number: 12126736Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of provisioning a trusted execution environment (TEE) based on (e.g., based at least in part on) a chain of trust that includes a platform on which the TEE executes. Any suitable number of TEEs may be provisioned. For instance, a chain of trust may be established from each TEE to the platform on which an operating system that launched the TEE runs. Any two or more TEEs may be launched by operating system(s) running on the same platform or by different operating systems running on respective platforms. Once the chain of trust is established for a TEE, the TEE can be provisioned with information, including but not limited to policies, secret keys, secret data, and/or secret code. Accordingly, the TEE can be customized with the information without other parties, such as a cloud provider, being able to know or manipulate the information.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2018Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin Seth Moore, Mark Fishel Novak
