  • Publication number: 20240220623
    Abstract: Trusted execution of a workload payload is brokered among multiple trusted execution platforms. The workload payload is received from a source computing system and includes input data, trusted execution code, and one or more trusted execution policies. At least one of the multiple trusted execution platforms is selected based on the one or more trusted execution policies. A brokered payload is generated to include executable trusted execution code and the input data. The brokered payload is communicated to the selected at least one trusted execution platform. A brokered result generated from the brokered payload by the selected at least one trusted execution platform is received. A workload result based on the brokered result is returned to the source computing platform.

  • Patent number: 11966753
    Abstract: A storage device for booting a host computing device includes a first storage memory region having a first storage memory controller, a second storage memory region having a second storage memory controller, and a resilient boot controller. The resilient boot controller is configured to store boot code in the first storage memory region, prevent write access by the host computing device through the first storage memory controller to the first storage memory region, detect a reset of the host computing device through the input/output interface, copy at least a portion of the boot code from the first storage memory region to the second storage memory region, responsive to detection of the reset of the host computing device, and enable read access of the copied boot code by the host computing device through the second storage memory controller of the second storage memory region, responsive to the copy operation.

  • Publication number: 20210338173
    Abstract: A heat response monitor, comprises an accelerometer, a core temperature sensor, an estimation device, and an enabler. The estimation device uses accelerometry-based functionality to provide a gait-based heat stroke risk score, and the estimation device uses an estimated core temperature of a wearer of the core temperature sensor, to provide an estimated core temperature-based heat stroke risk score. The gait-based heat stroke risk score and the estimated core temperature-based heat stroke risk score are used to determine if a wearer of the heat response monitor is in risk of heat injury.
