Towards Secure Virtual Machine Migration in Vehicular Cloud Environment
Lewis Nkenyereye, Kyung-Hyune Rhee · Advanced science and technology letters · 2014
In Vehicular Cloud (VC), Storage as Service (STaaS) is different from other services in vehicle cloud environment for the fact that it involves the migration of virtual OBU to be used by a data center, thus requiring more security issues to be addressed. In this paper, we propose a Secure Virtual Machine Migration Protocol Steps which can achieve secure handling in vehicular environment. Based on a scenario of a parking lot where the RSU is considered as Group Manager and the vehicles group members, we argue that ID-based Encryption and group signature can achieve secure OBU VM-vTPM based migration in cloud environment.
