Abstract
Security Architecture for a Virtual Heterogeneous Machine
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.
