Flexible Integrity Protection and Verification Architecture for Virtual Machine Monitors
Overview Lack of security of virtual machines and lack of trust into correct execution of virtualization engines is a major concern that is limiting the broad adoption of virtual machine technology. This paper looks at ways of improving Virtual Machine (VM) security, specifically in the context of integrity of VMs, by adding scalable trusted computing concepts to a virtual machine infrastructure. The paper describes methods for doing integrity measurement recording, and reporting for VMs. It places particular emphasis on how those methods can be made extensible and flexible with the goal of obtaining a generic attestation and sealing framework for VMs.
