Hypervisors are widely deployed by cloud computing providers to support virtual machines,
but their growing complexity poses a security risk as large codebases contain many …

The confidentiality of tenant's data is confronted with high risk when facing hardware attacks
and privileged malicious software. Hardware-based memory encryption is one of the …

Commodity operating systems are considered vulnerable. Therefore, when an application
handles security-sensitive data, it is highly recommended to run the application in a trusted …

Hypervisor, the core software in cloud computing, is susceptible to malicious intrusions,
potentially jeopardizing overall platform security. Physical hosts within the cloud computing …

The HostOS or Hypervisor constitutes the most important cornerstone of today's commercial
cloud environment security. Unfortunately, the HostOS/Hypervisor, especially the QEMU …

A Software Reference Architecture (SRA) is a useful tool for standardising existing
architectures in a specific domain and facilitating concrete architecture design, development …

Abstract In Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) clouds, remote users access provided virtual
machines (VMs) via the management server. The management server is managed by cloud …

Operating systems adopt kernel protection methods (eg, mandatory access control, kernel
address space layout randomization, control flow integrity, and kernel page table isolation) …

In the last ten years cloud computing has developed from a buzz word to the new computing
paradigm on a global scale. Computing power or storage capacity can be bought and …

Vulnerabilities in hypervisors are crucial in multi-tenant clouds and attractive for attackers
because a vulnerability in the hypervisor can undermine all the virtual machine (VM) …
