Zusammenfassung:In a specific embodiment, a secure two-way multi-message communication channel between a virtualization platform and a guest running on a virtual machine hosted on the virtualization platform is provided using the OVF environment channel. The OVF environment may be used to transmit communication parameters from the platform to the virtual machine during power-on. At runtime, a guest executing on the virtual machine may use the communication parameters to establish a secure two-way communication channel with the virtualization platform.
