Computing platform security methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a graphics processor; and a graphics driver to facilitate access to the graphics processor, the graphics driver including: an authenticator to establish a trusted channel between the graphics driver and an application driver via mutual authentication of the graphics driver and the application driver; an offloader to offload a computing task to the graphics processor via the trusted channel, the computing task associated with the application driver; and a hypervisor to monitor memory associated with the offloaded computing task for an unauthorized access attempt.

Computing platform security methods and apparatus

Computing platform security methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a security application to configure a security task, the security task to detect a malicious element on a computing platform, the computing platform including a central processing unit and a graphics processing unit; and an offloader to determine whether the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit is to execute the security task; and when the graphics processing unit is to execute the security task, offload the security task to the graphics processing unit for execution.

Various systems and methods for a personal safety system are described herein. A personal safety system includes an alert detection module to receive, at a device, input indicating an alert event; and a communication module to: transmit information regarding the alert event to a cloud service; and broadcast wireless network information of a wireless environment around the device, obtained by the device, to a plurality of devices in the wireless environment.

Personal safety system

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to form and maintain secure communications among two or more body-carried devices disposed in close proximity to the body of a person to form a body area network (BAN). An apparatus to establish secure communications includes a processor component; a signal component for execution by the processor component to compare a signal characteristic of a security test signal to a known signal characteristic of the security test signal to derive a bioelectric characteristic, the security test signal received via a tissue; and a bioelectric component for execution by the processor component to determine whether to allow transmission of data through the tissue based on the bioelectric characteristic. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for securing body-based communications

Systems and method to provide secure storage are disclosed. An example method includes establishing a secure tunnel between a storage device and an agent, provide a command from the agent to the storage device via the secure tunnel, access first data at the storage device in response to the command, and identify a modification to data stored on the storage device by comparing the first data to second data, wherein the comparison is done using the storage device.

Systems and methods to provide secure storage

Systems and methods for providing awareness of a host file system on a storage device are described. In one embodiment, a storage device includes a host interface and a file awareness block. The host interface provides an interface between a host and the storage device. The file awareness block provides an awareness of the host file system to the storage device.

Systems and methods for providing dynamic file system awareness on storage devices

Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods to protect data stored in a storage system of a device from malware alternation are described. In some embodiments, a system receives an indication that the data is to be protected. In addition, the system further triggers an interrupt of the device and secures the data from the malware alternation.

User controllable platform-level trigger to set policy for protecting platform from malware

Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods to securely download digital rights managed content with a client are described. In some embodiments, a system establishes a secure root of trust for the client. In addition, the system establishes a secure tunnel between an agent of the client and a storage system of the client. Furthermore, the system securely downloads the digital rights managed content to the storage system via the secure tunnel and securely provides the digital rights managed content from the storage system to a display.
