Protecting Applications from Highly Privileged Malware Using Bare-metal Hypervisor
Mallachiev Kurbanmagomed, Nikolay Pakulin · Proceedings of the Spring/Summer young researchers' colloquium on software engineering · 2014
The paper presents a work-in-progress project on construction of a security facility that protects trusted application from malware residing at any privilege level of an OS, including OS kernel.The approach is based on the Sevigator project that used KVM to protect applications running in QEMU.The presented project is a port of Sevigator to much smaller trusted computing base of a bare-metal hypervisor.
