Abstract
Various embodiments are generally directed to the provision and use of a secure enclave defined within a storage of a computing device by a processor element thereof to store executable instructions of an OTP component implementing logic to generate and use one-time passwords (OTPs) to enable access to services provided by another computing device. An apparatus includes a storage; a first processor element; and first logic to receive a one-time password (OTP) routine, store the OTP routine within a first secure enclave defined by the first processor element within the storage, obtain a measure of the contents of the first secure enclave with the OTP routine stored therein, transmit the first measure to a computing device, and receive an OTP seed.
