  • Patent number: 10977362
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for program execution and data proof scheme to prove that sub-logic code that was expected to be executed within a TEE was indeed executed, and that the resulting data is trustworthy. In some implementations, each sub-logic code of a plurality of sub-logic code is registered, and stored within the TEE, and a key pair (private key, public key) corresponding to the sub-logic code is generated. The client receives and stores the public key, sends requests to the TEE with an identifier of the sub-logic that is to be executed. The sub-logic code corresponding to the identifier is executed within the TEE, which signs the result using a digital signature that is generated using the private key of the sub-logic code. The client verifies the result based on the digital signature and the public key of the sub-logic code.
