Abstract
Approaches for securely authenticating untrusted operating environments. A software module intercepts a message which requires a first operating environment to authenticate itself to a service or resource provider. The software module executes outside of the first operating environment. The first operating environment lacks access to an authentication mechanism necessary to successfully authenticate to the service or resource provider. The software module notifies a second operating environment of the message. The second operating environment determines that the first operating environment should be permitted to authenticate to the service or resource provider. The second operating environment obtains authentication data generated using the authentication mechanism. The second operating environment provides the authentication data to the first operating environment to allow the first operating environment to authenticate itself to the service or resource provider.
