  • Publication number: 20210390063
    Abstract: Technologies for secure I/O data transfer with an accelerator device include a computing device having a processor and an accelerator. The processor establishes a trusted execution environment. The trusted execution environment may generate an authentication tag based on a memory-mapped I/O transaction, write the authentication tag to a register of the accelerator, and dispatch the transaction to the accelerator. The accelerator performs a cryptographic operation associated with the transaction, generates an authentication tag based on the transaction, and compares the generated authentication tag to the authentication tag received from the trusted execution environment. The accelerator device may initialize an authentication tag in response to a command from the trusted execution environment, transfer data between host memory and accelerator memory, perform a cryptographic operation in response to transferring the data, and update the authentication tag in response to transferrin the data.

  • Patent number: 11169935
    Abstract: Technologies for secure data transfer include a computing device having a processor, an accelerator, and a security engine, such as a direct memory access (DMA) engine or a memory-mapped I/O (MMIO) engine. The computing device initializes the security engine with an initialization vector and a secret key. During initialization, the security engine pre-fills block cipher pipelines and pre-computes hash subkeys. After initialization, the processor initiates a data transfer, such as a DMA transaction or an MMIO request, between the processor and the accelerator. The security engine performs an authenticated cryptographic operation for the data transfer operation. The authenticated cryptographic operation may be AES-GCM authenticated encryption or authenticated decryption. The security engine may perform encryption or decryption using multiple block cipher pipelines. The security engine may calculate an authentication tag using multiple Galois field multipliers. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
