Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs, for safely executing a native code module for an ARM 64-bit instruction set. The native code module contains native code that is executed within a secure runtime environment that isolates the native code module from sensitive data and resources on the computing system. The native code module is validated by a validator prior to execution within the secure runtime environment to ensure that the native code module complies with a set of security constraints.
