    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for a processor core to execute an instruction for a hardware (HW) thread to have access to a trusted execution environment (TEE). In an embodiment, execution of the instruction includes determining whether any sibling HW thread, which is currently active, is also currently approved to access the TEE. TEE access by the HW thread is conditioned upon a requirement that any sibling HW thread is either currently inactive, is currently in the same TEE, or is currently approved to enter the TEE. In another embodiment, execution of another instruction, for the HW thread to exit the TEE, includes or otherwise results in system software being conditionally notified of an opportunity to wake up one or more sibling HW threads.

    Abstract: Technologies for trusted I/O attestation and verification include a computing device with a cryptographic engine and one or more I/O controllers. The computing device collects hardware attestation information associated with statically attached hardware I/O components that are associated with a trusted I/O usage protected by the cryptographic engine. The computing device verifies the hardware attestation information and securely enumerates one or more dynamically attached hardware components in response to verification. The computing device collects software attestation information for trusted software components loaded during secure enumeration. The computing device verifies the software attestation information. The computing device may collect firmware attestation information for firmware loaded in the I/O controllers and verify the firmware attestation information. The computing device may collect application attestation information for a trusted application that uses the trusted I/O usage and verify the application attestation information. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Technologies for secure enumeration of USB devices include a computing device having a USB controller and a trusted execution environment (TEE). The TEE may be a secure enclave protected secure enclave support of the processor. In response to a USB device connecting to the USB controller, the TEE sends a secure command to the USB controller to protect a device descriptor for the USB device. The secure command may be sent over a secure channel to a static USB device. A driver sends a get device descriptor request to the USB device, and the USB device responds with the device descriptor. The USB controller redirects the device descriptor to a secure memory buffer, which may be located in a trusted I/O processor reserved memory region. The TEE retrieves and validates the device descriptor. If validated, the TEE may enable the USB device for use. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
