Dear list,
is there a document that describes the level of support of trusted
computing technology in KVM and how things work?
I read in various sources that KVM should support virtual Trusted
Platform Modules in virtual machines but I coudln't find any evidence
and/or document about this on the official site.
Thanks a lot
Martin

It is not (yet) supported in KVM.

There's host level trusted boot, which simply needs tboot and a new
enough kernel to support CONFIG_TXT.

No vTPM is currently supported.

Any resources to this topic (vTPM)?
I would be intrested in virtual TNC solutions (802.1x on wired networks)!
Can you virtualize a TNC "Authenticator" like a 802.1x Switch?
