Abstract
At least one hardware security module out of a plurality of hardware security modules is assigned to a guest system. The at least one hardware security module out of the plurality of hardware security modules is configured with a master key. A data pattern is used for a challenge protocol adapted to prove that the at least one hardware security module out of the plurality of hardware security modules is configured with the master key. The at least one hardware security module including the master key is assigned to the guest system based on a positive outcome of the challenge protocol.
