Abstract
A secure application system and method for a host computing device. The system includes an ultraboot application divides the host computing device into a resource management partition, at least one virtual service partition and at least one virtual guest partition. The virtual service partition provides a virtualization environment for the basic operations of the virtualization system. The virtual service partition is an isolated secure partition having a secure application executing therein. The isolated secure partition includes a security manifest portion for controlling the execution of the secure application within the isolated secure partition, and a secure application operating system (OS) portion that supports only the execution of the secure application within the isolated secure partition. The secure application is executed within the isolated secure partition without the need for any standard operating system (OS).
