title: "PVF: Add Secure Validator Mode" doc: - audience: Node Operator description: | Secure Validator Mode has been enabled for Polkadot validators by default. This enforces PVF validation security, and prevents starting a validator node if some security features are missing on the machine. SVM can be disabled using the `--insecure-validator-i-know-what-i-do` flag. migrations: db: [] runtime: [] crates: - name: polkadot-cli - name: polkadot-node-core-pvf - name: polkadot-node-core-pvf-common - name: polkadot-node-core-pvf-prepare-worker - name: polkadot-node-core-pvf-execute-worker host_functions: []
