Abstract

This disclosure generally relates to securely launching a hypervisor and subsequently validating that the hypervisor was securely launched. As is described herein, once a hypervisor has been initialized or has otherwise launched, a verification operation is performed. The verification operation may be used to ensure that the hypervisor was securely launched. When it is determined that the hypervisor was securely launched, one or more platform details are obtained. These platform details may then be stored in a memory device.
