Abstract:
A server includes a processor core including system memory, and a cryptographic engine storing a key data structure. The data structure is to store multiple keys for multiple secure domains. The core receives a request to program a first secure domain into the cryptographic engine. The request includes first domain information within a first wrapped binary large object (blob). In response a determination that there is no available entry in the data structure, the core selects a second secure domain within the data structure to de-schedule and issues a read key command to read second domain information from a target entry of the data structure. The core encrypts the second domain information to generate a second wrapped blob and stores the second wrapped blob in a determined region of the system memory, which frees up the target entry for use to program the first secure domain.
