Zusammenfassung:Technologies for utilizing trusted messaging include a local computing device including a message client and a local trusted message module established in a trusted execution environment. The local trusted message module performs attestation of a remote computing device based on communication with a corresponding remote trusted message module established in a trusted execution environment of the remote computing device. The local trusted message module further exchanges, with the remote trusted message module, cryptographic keys in response to successful attestation of the remote computing device. The message client forwards outgoing messages to the local trusted message module and receives incoming messages from the local trusted message module. To securely transmit an outgoing message to the remote computing device, the local trusted message module receives the outgoing message from the message client, encrypts the outgoing message, and cryptographically signs the outgoing message, prior to transmittal to the remote trusted message module of the remote computing device. To securely receive an incoming message from the remote computing device, the local trusted message module receives the incoming message from the remote trusted message module of the remote computing device, decrypts the incoming message, and verifies a cryptographic signature of the incoming message, based on the exchanged cryptographic keys and prior to transmittal of the incoming message to the message client.
