Abstract

A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support a secure machine environment on a HSM adapter, which enables an end user of the HSM adapter to run its own security sensitive applications securely via a secure machine within the HSM adapter and to gain access to its security measures. During operation, the secure machine receives commands from an application running on a host outside of the HSM adapter and executes a security sensitive application within the secure machine environment. The secure machine is configured to process all sensitive information of the security sensitive application via one or more secure machine processes/threads, while the applications running on the host only deal with non-sensitive information. The secure machine then sends a response back to the application running on the host following execution of the security sensitive application within the secure machine environment.
