Server Processors

[glenntu]

I want to set up / experiment with AES on a server (EPYC 7251 x2) that will support a hypervisor and virtual machines  I want to know how to set up keys from scratch. I have a Technical Preview document.  It gives technical details but not much on what you need to do.

Thanks in advance,

Hi glenntu,

You can find the latest instructions on how to setup Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) here: https://github.com/AMDESE/AMDSEV

Yes, thank you.  I have done that and am looking at "Secure Encrypted Virtualization API Version 0.16"  It describes commands, for instance INIT "used by the platform owner to initialize the platform", which makes me think I should have control over this process of creating keys.  I have no idea how to make that happen.

Any hints?
