Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to load and run secure enclaves for use by kernel mode applications. An apparatus to provide kernel mode access to a secure enclave includes a kernel mode secure enclave driver to provide user mode support for a kernel mode application and to initialize a secure enclave on behalf of the kernel mode application and a user mode secure enclave manager to process an instruction from the kernel mode application to the secure enclave.
