Abstract
Transferring application secrets in a trusted operating system environment involves receiving a request to transfer application data from a source computing device to a destination computing device. A check is made as to whether the application data can be transferred to the destination computing device, and if so, whether the application data can be transferred under control of the user or a third party. If these checks succeed, a check is also made as to whether the destination computing device is a trustworthy device running known trustworthy software. Input is also received from the appropriate one of the user or third party to control transferring of the application data to the destination computing device. Furthermore, application data is stored on the source computing device in a manner that facilitates determining whether the application data can be transferred, and that facilitates transferring the application data if it can be transferred.
