Obtaining, in association with origination of outbound network traffic to be sent by a system, user account information of a user account on behalf of which the outbound network traffic is generated, and performing filtering of the outbound network traffic based on the obtained user account information of the user account on behalf of which the outbound network traffic is generated, where the filtering is further based on one or more rules, and the filtering includes determining whether to block or allow sending of the outbound network traffic from the system.

Filtering outbound network traffic

Provided are facilities for secure execution of an encrypted executable comprising an encrypted instruction. The secure execution includes obtaining the encrypted instruction, decrypting the encrypted instruction using a decryption key being maintained in a secure location within a processor, and storing the decrypted instruction to a secure storage for execution, where the decryption key remains in the secure location during the decrypting and the storing to facilitate maintaining security of the decryption key.

Secure execution of encrypted program instructions

Verification of trustworthiness of a computing platform is provided. The trustworthiness of the computing platform is dynamically assessed to determine whether a root of trust exists on the computing platform. Responsive to determining existence of the root of trust, data is unsealed from a sealed storage facility. The sealed storage facility is unsealed responsive to a root of trust being determined to exist on the computing platform. The data can be used to attest to the trustworthiness of the computing platform to other device on a network.

Trust verification of a computing platform using a peripheral device

Trusted execution of a self-modifying executable is facilitated. An attempt to access a data portion of a self-modifying executable during execution of the self-modifying executable is detected. The self-modifying executable includes the data portion, for storing data to be accessed during execution of the self-modifying executable, and an instruction portion including instructions for execution of the self-modifying executable. The attempt to access the data portion is retargeted to a separate portion of memory space that is separate from another portion of memory space in which the self-modifying executable is loaded for execution. Meaningful measurability of the integrity of the self-modifying executable is thereby provided.
