  • Patent number: 9634829
    Abstract: A flexible aes instruction set for a general purpose processor is provided. The instruction set includes instructions to perform a “one round” pass for aes encryption or decryption and also includes instructions to perform key generation. An immediate may be used to indicate round number and key size for key generation for 128/192/256 bit keys. The flexible aes instruction set enables full use of pipelining capabilities because it does not require tracking of implicit registers.

  • Publication number: 20170091119
    Abstract: A server, processing device and/or processor includes a processing core and a memory controller, operatively coupled to the processing core, to access data in an off-chip memory. A memory encryption engine (MEE) may be operatively coupled to the memory controller and the off-chip memory. The MEE may store non-MEE metadata bits within a modified version line corresponding to ones of a plurality of data lines stored in a protected region of the off-chip memory, compute an embedded message authentication code (eMAC) using the modified version line, and detect an attempt to modify one of the non-MEE metadata bits by using the eMAC within a MEE tree walk to authenticate access to the plurality of data lines. The non-MEE metadata bits may store coherence bits that track changes to a cache line in a remote socket, poison bits that track error containment within the data lines, and possibly other metadata bits.

  • Publication number: 20170024573
    Abstract: A processor implementing techniques for supporting configurable security levels for memory address ranges is disclosed. In one embodiment, the processor includes a processing core a memory controller, operatively coupled to the processing core, to access data in an off-chip memory and a memory encryption engine (MEE) operatively coupled to the memory controller. The MEE is to responsive to detecting a memory access operation with respect to a memory location identified by a memory address within a memory address range associated with the off-chip memory, identify a security level indicator associated with the memory location based on a value stored on a security range register. The MEE is further to access at least a portion of a data item associated with the memory address range of the off-chip memory in view of the security level indicator.

  • Publication number: 20160364338
    Abstract: A processor for supporting secure memory intent is disclosed. The processor of the disclosure includes a memory execution unit to access memory and a processor core coupled to the memory execution unit. The processor core is to receive a request to access a convertible page of the memory. In response to the request, the processor core to determine an intent for the convertible page in view of a page table entry (PTE) corresponding to the convertible page. The intent indicates whether the convertible page is to be accessed as at least one of a secure page or a non-secure page.

  • Publication number: 20160328335
    Abstract: Systems and methods for memory protection for implementing trusted execution environment. An example processing system comprises: an on-package memory; a memory encryption engine (MEE) comprising a MEE cache, the MEE to: responsive to failing to locate, within the MEE cache, an encryption metadata associated with a data item loaded from an external memory, retrieve at least part of the encryption metadata from the OPM, and validate the data item using the encryption metadata.

  • Publication number: 20160275018
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to cache and data organization for memory protection. Memory protection operations in a device may be expedited by organizing cache and/or data structure while providing memory protection for encrypted data. An example device may comprise processing module and a memory module. The processing module may include a memory encryption engine (MEE) to decrypt encrypted data loaded from the memory module, or to encrypt plaintext data prior to storage in the memory module, using security metadata also stored in the memory module. Example security metadata may include version (VER) data, memory authentication code (MAC) data and counter data. Consistent with the present disclosure, a cache associated with the MEE may be partitioned to separate the VER and MAC data from counter data. Data organization may comprise including the VER and MAC data corresponding to particular data in the same data line.

  • Patent number: 9448950
    Abstract: Systems and methods for secure delivery of output surface bitmaps to a display engine. An example processing system comprises: an architecturally protected memory; and a plurality of processing devices communicatively coupled to the architecturally protected memory, each processing device comprising a first processing logic to implement an architecturally-protected execution environment by performing at least one of: executing instructions residing in the architecturally protected memory, or preventing an unauthorized access to the architecturally protected memory; wherein each processing device further comprises a second processing logic to establish a secure communication channel with a second processing device of the processing system, employ the secure communication channel to synchronize a platform identity key representing the processing system, and transmit a platform manifest comprising the platform identity key to a certification system.
