Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for providing validation of the compliance of a trusted host environment with a requirement of a virtual machine (VM). The system includes: a store component for cryptographically storing configuration data associated with the trusted host environment in at least one cryptographic data structure; a send component, responsive to the store component storing the configuration data, for sending the at least one cryptographic data structure to a control component; an analyze component, responsive to the control component receiving the at least one cryptographic data structure, for analyzing the at least one cryptographic data structure; a compare component, responsive to the analyze component determining the configuration data, for comparing the configuration data with the requirement; and a verify component, responsive to the compare component determining that the configuration data matches the requirement, for allowing verification of the VM.
