Xen devel - Jan 2007 - Help: Could anybody know about the Intel'' s "LaGrande" technologies? Did the Xen be under development using this stuff?

Could anybody know about the Intel''s "LaGrande" technologies?
Did the Xen be under development using this stuff?
I have been involved in an project which goal is to enhance the security of
commodity operating system via an secure kernel for several weeks. we have
studied several similar projects that have the same target. we found that the
"NGSCB" and the secure kernel "Nexus" the Microsoft have
researched are quite suitable. However, Nexus wants the hardware supports.
Fortunately, the Intel Corp has developed their technologies called
"Lagrande" which can feed the needs of Nexus. However ,Xen is a
suitable reference monitor to build on. We are going to use this stuff via Xen
to build a secure virtual monitor and a secure kernel which is isolated in the
curtained memory. Could anyone do me a favor to give me a hint about the
progress in Xen, thanks :)

Hi,

There is a patch to the mid Sept. ''06 version of Xen that supports
LaGrande Technology (now called Intel(r) Trusted Execution Technology or
Intel(r) TXT).  You can find it at: 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-09/msg00698.html.

There has been some discussion following the patch as to how best to incorporate
such technology into Xen and it was decided that it would be best as a separate
module that launched Xen (rather than integrated into the Xen binary as is the
case with the above patch).  I will be releasing a new version that supports
this model shortly.

I''ve also sent this reply to the xense-devel mailing list, as that list
is specifically concerned with the security-related aspects of Xen.
