Abstract

In an example, a computing device may include a trusted execution environment (TEE) for executing signed and verified code. The device may receive a trusted binary object in a first form, but the object may need to be converted to a second format, either on-the-fly, or in advance. This may include, for example, a bytecode interpreter, script interpreter, runtime engine, compiler, just-in-time compiler, or other species of binary translator. The binary translator may be run from the TEE, and the output may then be signed by the TEE and treated as a new trusted binary.
