Abstract
Trust, as defined in ETSI GR NFV-SEC 003, is an important component of security. One weakness of software as opposed to hardware, is that software can be copied in whole or in part. Trust that is rooted in software may be less reliable than trust rooted in hardware, quickly, easily, and any number of times. For the particular case of sensitive workloads that have to be trusted, only the highest assurance in the root of trust is considered acceptable, thus for the purposes of the present document the root of trust shall be provided in hardware.General Information
