System and method for providing a privacy layer to secure client data in a network

Abstract:

A computing device may receive a request to establish a virtualized environment to support a session for a client device in communication with the computing device over a network. The computing device may instantiate the virtualized environment in a trusted execution environment of the computing device, wherein the trusted execution environment may include one or more hardware resources that isolate the virtualized environment from a rich execution environment associated with the computing device. The computing device may cause a hardware security module associated with the computing device to obtain one or more cryptographic keys by communicating with a secure element of the client device, and the computing device may secure communication between a local operating system executing on the client device and the virtualized environment instantiated in the trusted execution environment using the one or more cryptographic keys.
