Abstract

The present technology discloses a method for enriching local crypto-processor queries with software-defined networking augmented information, comprising sending, from a virtual machine installed on a physical host, a request for trust verification data; augmenting, by an identity verification system on the physical host, the request for trust verification data with encrypted information from an external entity; receiving, at a trusted processor module on the physical host, the request for trust verification data; receiving, at the virtual machine, the trust verification data; and assessing, at the virtual machine, a state of the physical host based on the trust verification data.
