CLUSTERED VIRTUAL TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE DOMAIN SERVICES WITH A REDIRECTOR/ROUTER SERVICE SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17729094 Titled 'CLUSTERED VIRTUAL TRUSTED PLATFORM MODULE DOMAIN SERVICES WITH A REDIRECTOR/ROUTER SERVICE SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a system that validates connection requests from a virtual machine associated with a trusted platform module (TPM)-virtual (vTPM) module. The system checks if the connection request meets certain criteria based on a policy. If the request is valid, the system determines the vTPM domain service associated with the TPM-vTPM module and decides whether to redirect or route the request based on the policy. If redirection is required, the system sends a response to the TPM-vTPM module with information on where to redirect the request. If routing is required, the system directly routes the request to the vTPM domain service.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information handling system may validate a connection request received from a trusted platform module (TPM)-virtual (vTPM) module according to a policy, wherein the connection request originated from a virtual machine associated with the TPM-vTPM module which consumes services from a clustered vTPM domain service. In response to determining that the connection request is valid based on the policy, the system may determine the vTPM domain service associated to the TPM-vTPM module, and determine whether to route or redirect the connection request according to policy. In response to determining that the connection request is to be redirected, the system may transmit a response to the TPM-vTPM module, wherein the response includes redirect information to the vTPM domain service. In response to determining that the connection request is to be routed, the system may route the connection request to the vTPM domain service.
