Abstract
An embodiment includes at least one machine readable medium on which is stored code that, when executed enables a system to initialize a trusted loader enclave (TL) and a measurement and storage manager enclave (MSM) within a memory of the system, to receive by the MSM a TL measurement of the TL from a trusted processor of the system, to determine whether to establish a secure channel between the MSM and the TL based at least in part on the TL measurement, and responsive to a determination to establish the secure channel, to establish the secure channel and store particular code in the TL. Additional embodiments are described and claimed.
