Security Architecture for a Virtual Heterogeneous Machine

Abstract

We describe security for a virtual heterogeneous machine (VHM). Our security architecture is based upon separation of services into four distinct domains. It is designed to take advantage of operating system support for domains, where available. We have chosen to use emerging public key technology as an interim solution to provide domain separation. A prototype demonstration of our architecture has been developed.
