Secure exclaves

Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to securing hardware accelerators used by a computing device. In some embodiments, a computing device includes one or more processors configured to co-execute trusted processes and untrusted processes in an isolated manner that includes implementing a secure environment in which a set of security criteria is enforced for data of the trusted processes. The computing device further includes multiple heterogenous hardware accelerators configured to implement exclaves of the secure environment that extend enforcement of one or more of the set of security criteria within the hardware accelerators for data distributed to the hardware accelerators for performance of tasks associated with the trusted processes.
