Abstract:
As virtual machines become pervasive users will be able to create,
modify and distribute new ``machines'' with unprecedented ease.
This flexibility provides tremendous benefits for users.
Unfortunately, it can also undermine many assumptions that today's
relatively static security architectures rely on about the number of
hosts in a system, their mobility, connectivity, patch cycle, etc.\
We examine a variety of security problems virtual computing
environments give rise to. We then discuss potential directions for
changing security architectures to adapt to these demands.
