New MJS Article: Trusting Your Cloud Provider: Protecting Private Virtual Machines

The Magdeburger Journal zur Sicherheitsforschung published a new article by Armin Simma. The Paper titled »Trusting Your Cloud Provider: Protecting Private Virtual Machines« discusses an integrated solution that allows cloud customers to increase their trust into the cloud provider including cloud insiders

This article proposes an integrated solution that allows cloud customers to increase their trust into the cloud provider including cloud insiders (e.g. administrators). It is based on Mandatory Access Control and Trusted Computing technologies, namely Measured Boot, Attestation and Sealing. It gives customers strong guaran- tees about the provider’s host system and binds encrypted virtual machines to the previously attested host.
This article appears in the special edition „In Depth Security – Proceedings of the DeepSec Conferences“. Edited by Stefan Schumacher and René Pfeiffer
