BINDING A TRUSTED INPUT SESSION TO A TRUSTED OUTPUT SESSION

According to an embodiment provided herein, there is provided a system that binds a trusted output session to a trusted input session. The system includes a processor to execute an enclave application in an architecturally protected memory. The system includes at least one logic unit forming a trusted entity to, responsive to a request to set up a trusted I/O session, generate a unique session identifier logically associated with the trusted I/O session and set a trusted I/O session indicator to a first state. The system includes at least one logic unit forming a cryptographic module to, responsive to the request to set up the trusted I/O session, receive an encrypted encryption key and the unique session identifier from the enclave application; verify the unique session identifier; and responsive a successful verification, decrypt and save the decrypted encryption key in an encryption key register.
