1. A system for communicating with a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) in a computing system, the system comprising:

  • a plurality of host computing devices executing a plurality of VMs; and

    a management device coupled in communication with the host computing devices and configured to;

    negotiate an expected transaction nonce with a first VM of the plurality of VMs, wherein the first VM is enrolled by the management device and associated with a first VM authenticator value;

    receive a transaction request from a sender VM of the plurality of VMs, wherein the transaction request is associated with the first VM authenticator value and a transaction nonce, wherein the first VM authenticator value and the transaction nonce are used to authenticate the sender VM;

    when the transaction nonce associated with the transaction request is equal to the expected transaction nonce, transmit a transaction result to the sender VM based on the received transaction request; and

    when the transaction nonce associated with the transaction request is not equal to the expected transaction nonce, enroll the sender VM as a second VM, wherein the second VM is associated with a second VM authenticator value different from the first VM authenticator value.
