Abstract
A client hosted virtualization system (CHVS) includes a processor to execute code, a security processor, a component that includes a certificate, and a non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory includes BIOS code for the CHVS and virtualization manager code to initialize the CHVS, launch a virtual machine on the CHVS, and authenticate the component with the security processor by determining that the certificate is valid. The CHVS is configurable to execute the first code and not the second code, or to execute the second code and not the first code.
