PROVIDING DATA TO BE PROTECTED IN A SECURED EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT OF A DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM

Various embodiments include methods for providing data to be protected in a secure execution environment. An example includes: executing an enclave code in the environment; generating a key pair using the code with a public key and a private key; sending the public key to an insecure execution environment outside the secure execution environment; sending the public key and sending first encrypted data to an obfuscated program code, wherein the obfuscated program code is part of the insecure execution environment; verifying the public key by means of the obfuscated program code and, depending on results of the verification, converting the first encrypted data into second encrypted data, wherein the second encrypted data are encrypted with the public key; sending the second encrypted data to the enclave in the secure execution environment; and decrypting the second encrypted data into the data to be protected.
