    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to trust domain islands with self-contained scope. In one example, a system includes multiple sockets, each including multiple cores, multiple multi-key total memory encryption (MK-TME) circuits, multiple memory controllers, and a trust domain island resource manager (TDIRM) to: initialize a trust domain island (TDI) island control structure (TDICS) associated with a TD island, initialize a trust domain island protected memory (TDIPM) associated with the TD island, identify a host key identifier (HKID) in a key ownership table (KOT), assign the HKID to a cryptographic key and store the HKID in the TDICS, associate one of the plurality of cores with the TD island, add a memory page from an address space of the first core to the TDIPM, and transfer execution control to the first core to execute the TDI, and wherein a number of HKIDs available in the system is increased as the memory mapped to the TD island is decreased.

    Abstract: A processor includes a global register to store a value of an interrupted block count. A processor core, communicably coupled to the global register, may, upon execution of an instruction to flush blocks of a cache that are associated with a security domain: flush the blocks of the cache sequentially according to a flush loop of the cache; and in response to detection of a system interrupt: store a value of a current cache block count to the global register as the interrupted block count; and stop execution of the instruction to pause the flush of the blocks of the cache. After handling of the interrupt, the instruction may be called again to restart the flush of the cache.

    Abstract: Implementations describe providing secure encryption key management in trust domains. In one implementation, a processing device includes a key ownership table (KOT) that is protected against software access. The processing device further includes a processing core to execute a trust domain resource manager (TDRM) to create a trust domain (TD) and a randomly-generated encryption key corresponding to the TD, the randomly-generated encryption key identified by a guest key identifier (GKID) and protected against software access from at least one of the TDRM or other TDs, the TDRM is to reference the KOT to obtain at least one unassigned host key identifier (HKID) utilized to encrypt a TD memory, the TDRM is to assign the HKID to the TD by marking the HKID in the KOT as assigned, and configure the randomly-generated encryption key on the processing device by associating the randomly-generated encryption key with the HKID.
