Virtualization Technology (Intel

VT)

Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) is a processor technology that enables a

platform to run multiple operating systems and applications as independent machines,

allowing one computer system to function as multiple "virtual" systems. It also

provides the “assisted hardware virtualization” required by some operating systems for

backward compatibility, such as Windows XP Mode for Windows 7.

NOTE

Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel VT.

1.15.2.3 Intel

Trusted Execution Technology (Intel

TXT)

Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel

TXT) helps protect the platform against

software-based attacks and preserves the confidentiality and integrity of the data

created and stored on the system. It accomplishes this by using a measured launch

and leveraging Intel VT to produce a protected environment for the execution of

sensitive applications.

NOTE

Requires an Intel processor that supports Intel TXT.
