An apparatus including a processor and a memory configured to provide an SEE and an REE. The processor is configured to provide a client application configured to execute at a user privilege level and a hypervisor configured to execute at a hypervisor privilege level. The user privilege level is more restrictive than the hypervisor privilege level. The processor is further configured to provide a trusted application configured to execute within the SEE. The trusted application provides secure services to the client application. The processor is configured to send a request for secure services from the client application to the trusted application, send a measurement request to the hypervisor, generate within the hypervisor a measured value based on the client application, return the measured value to the trusted application, and determine whether the client application is authorized to access the secure services. The authorization determination is based on the measured value.

Hypervisor measurement agent

An apparatus includes a processor coupled to a memory wherein the processor and the memory are configured to provide a secure execution environment. The memory includes a shared secret value. The processor is configured to receive a certificate, wherein the certificate includes a device identifier and a digital signature. The processor validates the certificate based on the digital signature and the device identifier, recovers a cryptographic key based on the shared secret value and the device identifier, and performs a cryptographic operation based on the recovered cryptographic key.
