In qemu, enabling this feature boils down to adding the following onto the command line: -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on However, there are some constraints resulting from the implementation. For instance, System Management Mode (SMM) is required to be enabled, the machine type must be q35-2.4 or later, and the guest should be x86_64. While technically it is possible to have 32 bit guests with secure boot, some non-trivial CPU flags tuning is required (for instance lm and nx flags must be prohibited). Given complexity of our CPU driver, this is not trivial. Therefore I've chosen to forbid 32 bit guests for now. If there's ever need, we can refine the check later.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
