CLI

Learn more about the command line and its architecture

In short vHSM CLI is a helpful tool that understands all these different methods and provides a simple, standard identity card or workload certificate for your program, no matter where it runs. It also helps securely give secrets to your verified program.

vHSM CLI System

This architecture ensures that sensitive operations are performed securely while maintaining flexibility and compatibility across different environments.

Components of vHSM CLI System

The vHSM CLI System consists of the following:

  • Platform Libraries: These are like the hands and fingers that interact directly with the computer's built-in security chip.

  • Attestation Providers: These are the "translators" for each specific cloud or computer type. They know the unique steps and formats for each one. So, there's one provider for Microsoft's system, one for AMD's system, and others.

  • Service Providers: These parts help your program get important secrets it needs to run such as login details or secret keys, but only after vHSM CLI has verified that your program is legitimate.
