The great improvement of the hardware computing capability has stimulated people's enthusiasm to study virtual machine monitor again. XEN is an open-source virtualization machine monitor, whose future is widespread optimistic by the industry. It has a good system architecture and surprising performance. Companying With the application of the virtual machine, there are some new security challenges to be proposed. The hardware virtualization technology was interpreted based on Intel's VT-x technology and the essences of XEN from the prospects of processor, memory and device managements were analyzed. Based on the above analysis, the security of XEN was discussed and some solution schema against security flaws was proposed.
