Abstract
A processing system of a device having at least one processor may obtain a set of codes from a virtual machine orchestrator via a virtualization security controller of the processing system, obtain a first virtual machine configuration file from the virtual machine orchestrator via a hypervisor of the processing system, and pass at least one code of the set of codes from the virtualization security controller to the hypervisor. The processing system may then apply, via the hypervisor, a decryption to the first virtual machine configuration file using the at least one code, determine that a threshold percentage of content of the first virtual machine configuration file comprises dictionary-recognizable words in accordance with the decryption, and instantiate, via the hypervisor, a first virtual machine in accordance with the first virtual machine configuration file when it is determined that the threshold percentage of the content comprises dictionary-recognizable words.
