Abstract
Described herein are implementations for providing a platform adaptation layer that enables applications to execute inside a user-mode hardware-protected isolation container while utilizing host platform resources that reside outside of the isolation container. The platform adaptation layer facilitates a system service request interaction between the application and the host platform. As part of the facilitating, a secure services component of the platform adaptation layer performs a security-relevant action.
