    Abstract: In a method for protecting extra-enclave communications, a data processing system allocates a portion of random access memory (RAM) to a server application that is to execute at a low privilege level, and the data processing system creates an enclave comprising the portion of RAM allocated to the server application. The enclave protects the RAM in the enclave from access by software that executes at a high privilege level. The server application obtains a platform attestation report (PAR) for the enclave from the processor. The PAR includes attestation data from the processor attesting to integrity of the enclave. The server application also generates a public key certificate for the server application. The public key certificate comprises the attestation data. The server application utilizes the public key certificate to establish a transport layer security (TLS) communication channel with a client application outside of the enclave. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Translation lookaside buffer (TLB) tracking and managing technologies are described. A processing device comprises a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) and a processing core to execute a virtual machine monitor (VMM), the VMM to manage a virtual machine (VM) including virtual processors. The processing core to execute, via the VM, a plurality of conversion instructions on at least one of the virtual processors to convert a plurality of non-secure pages to a plurality of secure pages. The processing core also to execute, via the VM, one or more allocation instructions on the at least one of the virtual processors to allocate at least one secure page of the plurality of secure pages, execution of the one or more allocation instructions to include determining whether the TLB is cleared of mappings to the at least one secure page prior to allocating the at least one secure page.
