  • Patent number: 10749683
    Abstract: Technologies for end-to-end biometric-based authentication and locality assertion include a computing device with one or more biometric devices. The computing device may securely exchange a key between a driver and a secure enclave. The driver may receive biometric data from the biometric sensor in a virtualization-protected memory buffer and encrypt the biometric data with the shared key. The secure enclave may decrypt the biometric data and perform a biometric authentication operation. The computing device may measure a virtual machine monitor (VMM) to generate attestation information for the VMM. A secure enclave may execute a virtualization report instruction to request the attestation information. The processor may copy the attestation information into the secure enclave memory. The secure enclave may verify the attestation information with a remote attestation server. If verified, the secure enclave may provide a shared secret to the VMM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20150012746
    Abstract: A method for detecting a human user includes establishing a protected audio video path (PAVP) session between a client device and a server device. The method also includes encrypting the user presence object with keys associated with the PAVP session. The method further includes sending an encrypted user presence object to the client device via the PAVP session. Additionally, the method includes determining whether the human user is in proximity with the client device based on a response associated with the user presence object.
