Intel AES New Instructions Intel AES New Instructions (Intel AES-NI) are a set of instructions that enable fast and secure data encryption and decryption. These instructions are designed to improve the performance and security of cryptographic applications, such as bulk encryption/decryption, authentication, random number generation, and authenticated encryption. Intel Trusted Execution Technology Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) is a set of hardware extensions for Intel processors and chipsets that enhance the security of the digital office platform. It provides features such as measured launch and protected execution, creating a secure environment for applications to run in their own space, isolated from other software on the system. Mode-based Execute Control (MBE) Mode-based Execute Control (MBE) is a security feature that helps verify and enforce the integrity of kernel-level code. By using MBE, the system can more reliably protect against malicious attacks and ensure that only trusted code is executed in the kernel, enhancing the overall security of the system.
