Virtualized trusted storage

At least one non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising one or more instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a request from a process to access data in a system;
• determine whether the data is in a virtualized protected area of memory in the system;
• responsive to determining that the data is in the virtualized protected area of memory, determine whether the process is a trusted process;
• and
• allow access to the data based on a determination that the process is a trusted process.

An apparatus comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to:
• receive a request from a process to access data in a system;
• determine whether the data is in a virtualized protected area of memory in the system;
• responsive to determining that the data is in the virtualized protected area of memory, determine whether the process is a trusted process;
• and
• allow access to the data based on a determination that the process is a trusted process.

A method comprising:

• receiving a request from a process to access data in a system;
• determining whether the data is in a virtualized protected area of memory in the system;
• responsive to determining that the data is in a virtualized protected area of memory, determining whether the process is a trusted process;
• and
• allowing access to the data based on a determination that the process is a trusted process.

A system for virtualized trusted secure storage, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to:
• receive a request from a process to access data in a system;
• determine whether the data is in a virtualized protected area of memory in the system;
• responsive to determining that the data is in a virtualized protected area of memory, determine whether the process is a trusted process;
• and
• allow access to the data based on a determination that the process is a trusted process.
