  • 46 Evolution of Attacks, Threat Models, and Solutions for Virtualized
    Evolution of Attacks, Threat Models, and Solutions for Virtualized Systems DANIELE SGANDURRA and EMIL LUPU, Imperial College London Virtualization technology enables Cloud providers to efficiently use their computing services and resources. Even if the benefits in terms of performance, maintenance, and cost are evident, however, virtualization has also been exploited by attackers to devise new ways to compromise a system. To address these problems, research security solutions have evolved considerably over the years to cope with new attacks and threat models. In this work, we review the protection strategies proposed in the literature and show how some of the solutions have been invalidated by new attacks, or threat models, that were previously not considered. The goal is to show the evolution of the threats, and of the related security and trust assumptions, in virtualized systems that have given rise to complex threat models and the corresponding sophistication of protection strategies to deal with such attacks. We also categorize threat models, security and trust assumptions, and attacks against a virtualized system at the different layers—in particular, hardware, virtualization, OS, and application. 46 Categories and Subject Descriptors: K.6.5 [Management of Computing and Information Systems]: Security and Protection—Unauthorized access General Terms: Security, Algorithms, Measurement Additional Key Words and Phrases: Virtualization, threat models, Cloud computing, integrity attacks ACM Reference Format: Daniele Sgandurra and Emil Lupu. 2016.

Pillia, , Vijay Varadharajanb, Udaya Tupakulab a Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Malaviya National Institute of Technology Jaipur, India b Department of Computing, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: Security is of paramount importance in this new era of on-demand Cloud Computing. Researchers have Intrusion detection provided a survey on several intrusion detection techniques for detecting intrusions in the cloud computing Cloud security environment. Most of them provide a discussion over traditional misuse and anomaly detection techniques. Virtual machine introspection Virtual Machine Introspection (VMI) techniques are very helpful in detecting various stealth attacks targeting Hypervisor introspection user-level and kernel-level processes running in virtual machines (VMs) by placing the analyzing component Cloud attacks outside the VM generally at hypervisor. Hypervisor Introspection (HVI) techniques ensure the hypervisor security and prevent a compromised hypervisor to launch further attacks on VMs running over it. Introspection techniques introspect the hypervisor by using hardware-assisted virtualization-enabled technologies. The main focus of our paper is to provide an exhaustive literature survey of various Intrusion Detection techniques proposed for cloud environment with an analysis of their attack detection capability. We propose a threat model and attack taxonomy in cloud environment to elucidate the vulnerabilities in cloud. Our taxonomy of IDS techniques represent the state of the art classification and provides a detailed study of techniques with their distinctive features.

Cloud computing offers several benefits to Cloud computing users and organizations, in terms of capital expenditure and savings in operational expenditure. Crypto-cloud Despite the existence of such benefits, there are some obstacles that place restrictions on the Issues in cloud usage of cloud computing. Security is a major issue that is always considered. The lack of this Virtualization vital feature results in the negative impact of the computing archetype thus resulting in personal, ethical, and financial harm. This paper will focus and explore the security challenges that are faced by cloud entities. These entities include Cloud Service Provider, the Data Owner and Cloud User.

Studying the causes and effects of various cyber attacks it will provide the necessary upgrades. 1. Introduction Cloud computing creates a network-based environment vision to the users, which paves way for the sharing of calculations and resources regardless of location. The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) defines cloud computing [1] as, “A template for providing the suitable and when needed access to the internet, to a collective pool of programmable grids, storage, servers, software, and amenities that can be rapidly emancipated, with little communication and supervision from the provider”.

  • 12 an Exhaustive Survey on Security Concerns and Solutions at Different
    An Exhaustive Survey on Security Concerns and Solutions at Different Components of Virtualization RAJENDRA PATIL and CHIRAG MODI, National Institute of Technology Goa, India Virtualization is a key enabler of various modern computing technologies. However, it brings additional vulnerabilities that can be exploited to affect the availability, integrity, and confidentiality of the underlying resources and services. The dynamic and shared nature of the virtualization poses additional challenges to the traditional security solutions. This article explores the vulnerabilities, threats, and attacks relevant to virtu- alization. We analyze the existing security solutions and identify the research gaps that can help the research community to develop a secured virtualization platform for current and future computing technologies. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → System security; Operating system security; Virtualization and security; Network security; Denial-of-service attacks; Additional Key Words and Phrases: Virtualization, hypervisor, virtual machine, vulnerability, security ACM Reference format: Rajendra Patil and Chirag Modi. 2019. An Exhaustive Survey on Security Concerns and Solutions at Different Components of Virtualization. ACM Comput. Surv. 52, 1, Article 12 (February 2019), 38 pages. https://doi.org/10.1145/3287306 12 1 INTRODUCTION Virtualization is an abstraction of hardware and software resources allowing heterogeneous archi- tectures to run on the same hardware [9]. The major components of the virtualization are virtual machines (VMs), hypervisors, and virtual networks. VM is a software system similar to the phys- ical system allowing us to run an operating system and other applications. Hypervisor offers an “abstraction of physical resources” like CPU, memory, network, and storage. It allows us to run multiple operating systems at a time on the same physical resources.
