    <font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hi Dmitriy,<br>
      <br>
      Looks like after some Windows 11 updates were applied then it was
      able to boot up under Bitvisor 3.0.  Still would be nice to have
      any patches come out in the next version as well just in case it
      is run on other machines.<br>
      <br>
      On the SQLite side, have you been able to use BV 3.0 to get SQLite
      working as I want to slowly test all of the features that are
      currently implemented in Bitvisor which are, from what I can see,
      mainly SQLite (from dgbsh.efi and from within Ubuntu but did not
      see any Windows build for it), as well as the encrypted
      filesystem.  There are also a few other things like IDMan, that I
      do not know much about, but will look into it more as well as like
      the Wireguard implementation although still having a few problems
      connecting to other Wireguard nodes (i.e. Servers). <br>
      <br>
      Have you been able to work with SQLite and the examples with
      Bitvisor 3.0?<br>
      <br>
      Regarding the transparent disk encryption, I want to test what
      Bitvisor can already do, but have also come across a project
      called "TreVisor" (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/lakeman/trevisor">https://github.com/lakeman/trevisor</a>) which uses
      the TRESOR Encryption
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.cs1.tf.fau.de/research/system-security-group/tresor-trevisor-armored/">https://www.cs1.tf.fau.de/research/system-security-group/tresor-trevisor-armored/</a>)
      to keep the keys out of RAM and seems to be based upon Bitvisor
      1.3.<br>
      <br>
      Once I have been able to get a good feel for all of the basic
      Bitvisor 3.0 functionality, I was thinking to perhaps give it a
      try to port up the BitVisor-1.3 patch for TreVisor to hopefully
      work with the latest Bitvisor 3.0 since it looks like a bit of an
      enhancement in security based upon the TreVisor Security paper but
      I also want to keep the latest main Bitvisor features as well.<br>
      <br>
      Mostly exploring at the moment but I am really hoping to dive in
      heavily over the next few months to use it at the core for an
      interesting project that will explore running ultra-thin OS which
      will basically be under Bitvisor, but more on that later.<br>
      <br>
      Best and have a great evening,<br>
      Lonnie<br>

                  Hope that everyone is doing well.<br>
                  <br>
                  I have been compiling the Bitvisor 3.0 from the Github
                  Matsu repository:<br>

                  <br>
                  But still cannot get the SQLiteExample to work through
                  the "dbgsh" as it does not seem to find it no matter
                  what I try.  In my last efforts, I even copied the
                  sqliteexample.bin into the "EFI/Boot" directory where
                  the bitvisor.efi and loader are located but it seems
                  that the bin files are not something that is loaded at
                  boot time and I suspect that they would be compiled
                  into bitvisor as a single efi file.<br>
                  <br>
                  Also, I have been testing on my Nuc13 Ubuntu 22.04
                  (x64) machine since I think that there is a problem
                  booting up Windows 11 (x64) from a recent mailing list
                  message in which a fix was going to be put into place,
                  but I have not see any additional emails on this and
                  if this has bee added to the latest Bitvisor.<br>
                  <br>
                  Any updates on these would be greatly appreciated, my
                  friends.<br>
