System and method of authorizing execution of software code based on accessible entitlements

摘要

Embodiments include systems and methods for authorizing software code to be executed or access capabilities in secure operating environments. Profiles may be issued by trusted entities to extend trust to other entities to allow those other entities to provide or control execution of applications in a secure operating environment such as on particular computing devices. A request in a first program may be received from a second program. A profile is then identified. The profile includes at least one entitlement associated with the second program. The profile is authenticated based on a first digest indicative of the profile and the second program is authenticated based on a second digest indicative of the second program. The request is then executed based on the entitlement.
