Abstract

In an example, a computing device may an input verification engine (IVE) that provides input verification services within a trusted execution environment (TEE), including a memory enclave. Taking a Java-based Android application as an example, the IVE securely verifies and validates user inputs for sensitive computing applications, without exposing the inputs to external applications. The IVE may be implemented in native C/C++ or similar, or may provide instructions to dynamically provision an enclave and import a minimal Java Virtual Machine (JVM) into the enclave so that the IVE can run in Java. The IVE may also contain binary analysis tools to analyze an input binary to identify and tag portions that receive user input, so that in a binary translation, those portions can be run within the enclave.
