PROVIDING ISOLATION IN VIRTUALIZED SYSTEMS USING TRUST DOMAINS

Implementations describe providing isolation in virtualized systems using trust domains. In one implementation, an apparatus comprises: a memory encryption engine to protect memory using encryption; and a processor to execute one or more instructions to allow a virtual machine manager (VMM) to manage a trust domain (TD). The processor is to support at least one of a first instruction to add a memory page to the TD, wherein execution of the first instruction is to use an address of TD control structure, an address of a source page, and an address of destination page to: copy the source memory page to the destination page using an encryption key identified in the TD control structure, a second instruction, wherein execution of the second instruction is to initialize the TD control structure for a TD and generate the encryption key, or a third instruction, wherein execution of the third instruction is to enter the TD and load a saved state of the TD from a data structure.
