Abstract
A security module of a processor manages the lifecycle of device interfaces of input/output (I/O) devices within a virtualization environment in a secure and trusted manner. For example, the security module is configured to bind a device interface of an I/O device interface to a virtual machine (VM). Responsive to the device interface being bound, the security module is configured to attest at least one of the device interface and the I/O device. Responsive to the at least one of the device interface or the I/O device being attested, the security module is configured to configure an input-output memory management unit (IOMMU) and memory resources associated with the VM.
