ABSTRACT:
Systems, methods and machine readable media for configuring virtual platform modules are disclosed. One method includes launching a virtual machine monitor, and determining, with the virtual machine monitor, whether a configuration policy that defines a configuration for a virtual trusted platform module is trusted. The method further includes configuring the virtual trusted platform module per the configuration policy in response to the virtual machine monitor determining that the configuration policy is trusted. The method also includes launching, via the virtual machine monitor, a virtual machine associated with the virtual trusted platform module.
