Abstract: Computing platform security methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a graphics processor; and a graphics driver to facilitate access to the graphics processor, the graphics driver including: an authenticator to establish a trusted channel between the graphics driver and an application driver via mutual authentication of the graphics driver and the application driver; an offloader to offload a computing task to the graphics processor via the trusted channel, the computing task associated with the application driver; and a hypervisor to monitor memory associated with the offloaded computing task for an unauthorized access attempt.

Abstract: In one embodiment, metadata associated with deployment of a container within an orchestration environment includes information indicating security preferences for deployment of the container within the orchestration environment, information indicating a level of communications between the container and other containers, and/or information indicating effects of execution of the container with respect to other containers. The metadata is used to select a particular node of a plurality of nodes within the orchestration environment on which to deploy the container based on the metadata.

Abstract: Computing platform security methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a security application to configure a security task, the security task to detect a malicious element on a computing platform, the computing platform including a central processing unit and a graphics processing unit; and an offloader to determine whether the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit is to execute the security task; and when the graphics processing unit is to execute the security task, offload the security task to the graphics processing unit for execution.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided to determine whether to enroll a computing device as a provider of a secure application enclave for an application. The following information is obtained from a second computing device: a device identifier for a first computing device, application information, and data for a shared secret. The first computing device is configured to provide a secure application enclave to support execution of the application associated with the application information, and the shared secret is shared between the secure application enclave and a user of the first computing device. A determination is made whether to enroll the first computing device as a provider of the secure application enclave for the application using the device identifier, the application information, and the data for the shared secret. The secure application enclave may be notified whether the enrollment of the first computing device is successful.

Abstract: Systems and method to provide secure storage are disclosed. An example method includes establishing a secure tunnel between a storage device and an agent, provide a command from the agent to the storage device via the secure tunnel, access first data at the storage device in response to the command, and identify a modification to data stored on the storage device by comparing the first data to second data, wherein the comparison is done using the storage device.

Abstract: Various systems and methods for a personal safety system are described herein. A personal safety system includes an alert detection module to receive, at a device, input indicating an alert event; and a communication module to: transmit information regarding the alert event to a cloud service; and broadcast wireless network information of a wireless environment around the device, obtained by the device, to a plurality of devices in the wireless environment.
