Summary:Techniques are described for securely booting and executing a virtual machine (VM) image in an untrusted cloud infrastructure. A multi-core processor may be configured with additional hardware components-referred to as a trust anchor. The trust anchor may be provisioned with a private/public key pair, which allows the multi-core CPU to authenticate itself as being able to securely boot and execute a virtual machine (VM) image in an untrusted cloud infrastructure.
