Description:

Mission-critical VMs running in clouds may be at risk of attack. These risks are only expected to increase as businesses and governments embrace the Cloud business model as a way of creating cost-effective and easily scalable IT solutions. We propose a solution that transparently enhances VM security using existing building blocks in an innovative way, with the potential of incurring little performance overhead as the state of the art of those basic functionalities advances.
