- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17728579 Titled 'CLUSTERED VIRTUAL TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE DOMAIN SERVICES SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an information handling system that includes a virtual trusted platform module (TPM) consumer associated with a virtual machine. The system allows the virtual TPM consumer to access TPM services from a clustered vTPM domain service. The vTPM consumer can determine the connection information of the vTPM domain service and send a connection request for a TPM operation. The connection request includes additional payload information. The vTPM consumer can then receive a response from the vTPM domain service related to the TPM operation request.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system includes a virtual trusted platform module (TPM) consumer associated with a virtual machine. The virtual TPM (vTPM) consumer may consume TPM services from a clustered vTPM domain service and determine the connection information of the vTPM domain service. The vTPM consumer transmits a connection request for a TPM operation request to the vTPM domain service, wherein the connection request includes a payload in addition to the connection information. The consumer may also receive a response associated with the TPM operation request from the vTPM domain service.
