Abstract

This disclosure is directed to methods and systems that establish a secure data channel between a host and a disaggregated hardware device ('DHD') of a data center. The system comprises an initiator host that runs objects, such as virtual machines and containers. The host includes an initiator smart network interface card (“SNIC”). The initiator SNIC includes a virtual device, a trust platform module (“TPM”) and a security engine. The system also comprises a target host equipped with a DHD and a target SNIC. The target SNIC includes a TPM and a security engine. The TPM and the security engine of the initiator SNIC and the TPM and the security engine of the target SNIC establish a secure data channel between an object running on the host and the DHD.
