The claim that SMM is measured by (Intel) DRTM is interesting. Do you have any details on that? To my knowledge Intel was trying to solve this issue using the concept of an 'SMM Transfer Monitor (STM)' not simply by measuring the SMM environment [1]. But it's been 8 years since [1] was written so if you have links to more current information, it'd be welcome.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any up to date and detailed public documentation on the modern DRTM flows that exist on both Intel and AMD platforms. Maybe documentation has been recently updated but I’m not sure if I’m able to share more beyond what I already have.
