US 2016/0366136 A1 · SYSTEM, APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR STATEFUL APPLICATION OF CONTROL DATA IN A DEVICE

Abstract

In one embodiment, a system includes a processor having a first logic to execute in a trusted execution environment, and a storage to store a plurality of access control policies, each of the plurality of access control policies associated with a composite device state of the system and including an access policy for a resource to be protected by the first logic, where the first logic is to apply one or more of the plurality of access control policies to a request for access to the resource, responsive to a matching of the associated composite device state of the one or more access control policies with a current composite device state of the system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A device comprising:

a processor to execute instructions;
and
a policy logic to receive a request to access a resource to be protected by the device, wherein the policy logic is to access control data associated with the resource, the control data having a first device state field of a first value, the policy logic to determine whether the device is in a device state associated with the first value and if so to apply an access policy of the control data to determine whether to grant the request to access the resource.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
