Who measured that? A confidential VM, layer by layer

ยท sev-snp, svsm, tpm, gcp

A clickable chain of trust for a Google Cloud confidential VM, from the AMD chip to userspace, with the vTPM inside the SVSM.

Each stage measures the next before handing over control. The firmware does the measuring; the image is what gets measured.

  • Trusted. Darker red is closer to the hardware.
  • Not trusted and not measured (outside the trust boundary).
  • Layers below the one you zoomed into.
  • Matches your search.
