# Verifying a SecretVM Verifying a Confidential Virtual Machine involves retrieving its Attestation Quote, parsing it and verifying that the quote is authentic, and that the values of attestation report registers match the expected values. We decribe two ways for the attestation - [Full Verification](/secret-network-documentation/secretvm-confidential-virtual-machines/verifying-a-secretvm/full-verification.md) (a very technically involved process), and [Quick Verification](/secret-network-documentation/secretvm-confidential-virtual-machines/verifying-a-secretvm/quick-verification.md) that allows less technical users to validate authenticity of the workloads running on a given SecretVM --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.scrt.network/secret-network-documentation/secretvm-confidential-virtual-machines/verifying-a-secretvm.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
