Thank you for this link, Andreas.

The thing I am searching for is not really a tutorial how to set
things up but more some kind of a documentation that describes how XEN
and vTPM really work, what level of support we currently have, etc.
There's a lot of literature about virtual trusted computing (research
papers, whitepapers, secondary literature, etc...) but it is not clear
for me what ideas are implemented and how things really work.

Best regards
Martin
