Abstract
A method is provided. A secure interface control in communication with an untrusted entity perform the method. In this regard, the secure interface control implements an initialization instruction to set donated storage as secure. The implementing of the initialization instruction is responsive to an instruction call issued from the untrusted entity.
Claims25
A method comprising:
- implementing, by a secure interface control in communication with an untrusted entity, an initialization instruction to set donated storage as secure, the implementing of the initialization instruction being responsive to an instruction call issued from the untrusted entity.
A computer program product of claim comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause operations comprising:
- implementing, by a secure interface control in communication with an untrusted entity, an initialization instruction to set donated storage as secure, the implementing of the initialization instruction being responsive to an instruction call issued from the untrusted entity.
A system comprising:
- a secure interface control in communication with an untrusted entity,
- wherein the system is configured to perform the operations of:
- implementing, by the secure interface control, an initialization instruction to set donated storage as secure, the implementing of the initialization instruction being responsive to an instruction call issued from the untrusted entity.
A method comprising:
- implementing, by a secure interface control in communication with an untrusted entity, an initialize secure interface control instruction that registers donated storage to the secure interface control and marks the donated storage as secure, the implementing of the initialize secure interface control instruction being responsive to a first instruction call issued from the untrusted entity;
- implementing, by the secure interface control, a create secure configuration instruction that registers the donated storage to the secure interface control and marks the donated storage as secure, the implementing of the create secure configuration instruction being responsive to a second instruction call issued from the untrusted entity;
- and
- implementing, by the secure interface control, a create secure central processing unit (CPU) instruction that registers the donated storage to the secure interface control and marks the donated storage as secure, the implementing of the create secure CPU instruction being responsive to a third instruction call issued from the untrusted entity.
