The method includes (a) running a process virtual machine (PVM) on the computer, the PVM being configured to execute portable bytecode instructions within a PVM environment and (b) executing, within the PVM environment, instructions for (1) reading encrypted instruction code from data storage of the computer, (2) sending the encrypted instruction code to the HSM, (3) in response, receiving decrypted instruction code from the HSM, and (4) injecting the decrypted instruction code within an application running in the PVM environment for execution by the PVM. Embodiments are also directed to analogous computer program products and apparatuses.
