Abstract
A system and method for secure access to computing services in trusted computing environments. The present invention facilitates the execution of services in a secure environment by unsecure requestors where the requestor has no visibility into the secure environment. A remote service creates an encrypted data bundle (EDB) consisting of the request and associated data and transmits the EDB to the unsecure requestor. The EDB is then transmitted to the Trusted Service Receiver (TSR) in the secure environment that decrypts the EDB and determines if the request is valid and permissible. If valid and permissible, the TSR determines what secure service will be required and Trusted Services (TS) are invoked. TSR then collects results from each TS invoked and transmits the result according to the instructions in the request.
