Zusammenfassung: | A data processing system has a processor, a system memory, and a hypervisor. The system memory stores program code and data in a plurality of memory pages. The hypervisor controls SLAT (second level address translation) read, write, and execute access rights of the plurality of memory pages. A portion of the plurality of memory pages are classified as being in a secure enclave portion of the system memory and a portion is classified as being in an unsecure memory area. The portion of the memory pages classified in the secure enclave is encrypted and a hash is generated for each of the memory pages. During an access of a memory page, the hypervisor determines if the accessed memory page is in the secure enclave or in the unsecure memory area based on the hash. In another embodiment, a method for accessing a memory page in the secure enclave is provided. |
