In one example embodiment, an electronic device is provided and configured to: acquire authentication data for an authorized user; store the authentication data in an enclave; acquire identification data for a potential user, and compare, in the enclave, the identification data to the authentication data for recognizing if the potential user is the authorized user. In another embodiment, a server is provided and includes at least one processor; at least one memory; at least one driver, where the server is configured to: receive assertion data from an electronic device, where the assertion includes an authentication signing key and results from a comparison of acquired data and reference data; and determine it the assertion data is valid by: comparing the results to a threshold; and comparing the authentication signing key to an authentication signing key assigned to the electronic device.

In one example embodiment, an electronic device is provided and configured to: acquire authentication data for an authorized user; store the authentication data in an enclave; acquire identification data for a potential user; and compare, in the enclave, the identification data to the authentication data for recognizing if the potential user is the authorized user. In another embodiment, a server is provided and includes at least one processor; at least one memory; at least one driver, where the server is configured to: receive assertion data from an electronic device, where the assertion includes an authentication signing key and results from a comparison of acquired data and reference data; and determine if the assertion data is valid by: comparing the results to a threshold; and comparing the authentication signing key to an authentication signing key assigned to the electronic device.

A multiple, cooperating operating systems (OS) platform system with multi processors. Multiple operating systems, each of which may be of a different type or nature, can run on different partitions of the multi-processor platform and yet coexist and cooperate. A real time operating system (RTOS) executing on a processor can communicate with another OS executing on another processor via a portion of memory accessible by the RTOS and the OS by perform read and write operations.

Multiple, cooperating operating systems (OS) platform system and method

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to provide a real-time threading service to an application in a multi-core environment. An executive is launched, within a most privilege level of an operating system (OS), on a real-time core in the multi-core environment. The real-time core is sequestered from the OS. A real-time thread is created in a least privilege level on the real-time core for an application using a library. The library is loaded by the application. The real-time thread shares a virtual address space with the application.

Real-time threading service for partitioned multiprocessor systems

Embodiments of a multi-processor platform including multiple, cooperating operating systems are described. Multiple operating systems, each of which may be of a different type or nature, run on different partitions of the multi-processor platform, yet coexist and cooperate. In various embodiments, different specialized operating systems, suitable for particular tasks, run on different partitions of the platform. In one embodiment, a host operating system, using a driver, boots and partitions a portion of the platform running other operating systems, and then communicates with, and shares work with, the other operating systems. In one embodiment, the multi-processor platform includes a host operating system and multiple specialized operating systems, such as real-time operating systems, operating alongside the host operating system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
