Trusted Computing pools

Registered by Jun Nakajima

The feature will allow cloud hosting providers to build trusted computing pools based on H/W-based security features, such as Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT). Combining attestation done by a separate entity (i.e. "remote attestation"), the providers can ensure that verified measurement of software be running in the cloud, thus they can establish the foundation for the secure cloud stack. Such remote attestation services can be developed by using SDK that we plan to provide. Policy-based scheduling (in a separate blueprint) or a simpler one will be used to find "trusted" nodes.
