Abstract
Apparatus, systems, and methods may operate to restore an operational state of an associated virtual machine (VM) using encrypted information stored in encrypted memory locations. A single hypervisor may be used to encrypt and decrypt the information. Access may be permitted to a designated number of the encrypted memory locations only to a single application executed by the associated VM subject to the hypervisor. Access may be denied to any other application executed by the associated VM, or any other VM.
