SeVMM: VMM-Based Security Control Model
Wenzhi Chen, Zhu Hong-Wei, Huang Wei · 2008
The security problem became more severe since the security requirement of different applications may conflict with the others in distributed application or grid computing. Virtualization technology can improvethe system's security, but did not satisfy the requirement of virtual resource sharing and inner-domain communication in distributed services and grid computing. By dividing the virtual resources into sharing virtual resources and normal ones, SeVMM provided secure mechanism for inter-domain communication control, which formed the base of multi-level security control model for virtual machine monitors, operating systems and applications. Case study and application showed that SeVMM improved the system's security without causing significant performance penalty.
