Abstract: Provided are facilities for secure execution of an encrypted executable comprising an encrypted instruction. The secure execution includes obtaining the encrypted instruction, decrypting the encrypted instruction using a decryption key being maintained in a secure location within a processor, and storing the decrypted instruction to a secure storage for execution, where the decryption key remains in the secure location during the decrypting and the storing to facilitate maintaining security of the decryption key.

Abstract: Verification of trustworthiness of a computing platform is provided. The trustworthiness of the computing platform is dynamically assessed to determine whether a root of trust exists on the computing platform. Responsive to determining existence of the root of trust, data is unsealed from a sealed storage facility. The sealed storage facility is unsealed responsive to a root of trust being determined to exist on the computing platform. The data can be used to attest to the trustworthiness of the computing platform to other device on a network.

Abstract: Trusted execution of a self-modifying executable is facilitated. An attempt to access a data portion of a self-modifying executable during execution of the self-modifying executable is detected. The self-modifying executable includes the data portion, for storing data to be accessed during execution of the self-modifying executable, and an instruction portion including instructions for execution of the self-modifying executable. The attempt to access the data portion is retargeted to a separate portion of memory space that is separate from another portion of memory space in which the self-modifying executable is loaded for execution. Meaningful measurability of the integrity of the self-modifying executable is thereby provided.
