Abstract
A single input/output (I/O) controller for both secure partitionable endpoints (PEs) and non-secure PEs is enabled in a trusted execution environment (TEE) where secure memory portions are isolated from non-secure PEs. Security attributes for certain endpoints indicate secure memory access privilege of owning entities of the certain endpoints. A security monitor has exclusive access to the address translation control tables (TCE) stored in secure memory associated with a secure endpoint. When owning entity reassignment occurs, the endpoints are reinitialized to support a change in ownership from an outgoing owning entity having secure memory access and an incoming owning entity not having secure memory access.
