I/O for Virtual Machine Monitors: Security and Performance Issues

2008-10-08 04:42:03 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
Modern I/O architectures are quite complex, so keeping a virtual machine monitor (VMM), or hypervisor, small is difficult. Many current hypervisors move the large, complex, and sometimes proprietary device drivers out of the VMM into one or more partitions, leading to inherent problems in complexity, security, and performance

Virtual Machine Introspection: Observation or Interference?

2008-10-08 04:42:05 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
...machine introspection techniques and tools are evolving to provide methods to monitor the behavior of virtual machines. This survey classifies and describes current VMI introspection technologies according to three primary classifications: threat monitoring versus interference, semantic awareness, and event replay. The authors also describe...

On virtualisation

2007-05-29 16:20:00 by Niels Provos in Google Online Security Blog
 
...machines are often used by security researchers to sandbox malware samples for analysis, or to protect a machine from a potentially hazardous activity. The theory is that any security threat or malicious behaviour will be restricted to the virtual environment which can be discarded and then restored to pristine condition after use Virtual...
