==System, Apparatus And Method For Integrity Protecting Tenant Workloads In A Multi-Tenant Computing Environment - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240176749 titled 'System, Apparatus And Method For Integrity Protecting Tenant Workloads In A Multi-Tenant Computing Environment

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a multi-tenant computing system with a memory execution circuit that can operate in different modes to handle encrypted data from different tenants securely.

* The system includes a processor with multiple cores for tenant agents to execute, a configuration storage, and a memory execution circuit.
* The configuration storage contains a register to store configuration information, including a mode identifier for the memory execution circuit.
* In one mode, the memory execution circuit receives encrypted data from a tenant, generates an integrity value for the data, and sends both to memory without revealing the integrity value to the system's software.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in secure cloud computing environments, data centers, and other multi-tenant systems where data privacy and security are paramount.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Secure handling of encrypted data from multiple tenants in a shared computing environment.
2. Ensuring data integrity without exposing sensitive information to unauthorized parties.

== Benefits ==
1. Enhanced data security and privacy for tenants in a multi-tenant system.
2. Efficient and reliable handling of encrypted data without compromising system integrity.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Secure Multi-Tenant Computing System for Cloud Environments"

== Possible Prior Art ==
Prior art in the field of secure data handling in multi-tenant systems may include encryption techniques, data integrity verification methods, and secure memory access protocols.

=== What are the specific encryption algorithms used in this system? ===

The abstract does not specify the encryption algorithms used in the system.

=== How does the system handle potential conflicts between different modes of operation for the memory execution circuit? ===

The abstract does not address how conflicts between different modes of operation for the memory execution circuit are resolved.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

in one embodiment, a multi-tenant computing system includes a processor including a plurality of cores on which agents of tenants of the multi-tenant computing system are to execute, a configuration storage, and a memory execution circuit. the configuration storage includes a first configuration register to store configuration information associated with the memory execution circuit. the first configuration register is to store a mode identifier to identify a mode of operation of the memory execution circuit. the memory execution circuit, in a first mode of operation, is to receive encrypted data of a first tenant, the encrypted data encrypted by the first tenant, generate an integrity value for the encrypted data, and send the encrypted data and the integrity value to a memory, the integrity value not visible to the software of the multi-tenant computing system. other embodiments are described and claimed.
