Abstract

Trusted computing is an important means for the security of the IaaS platform. One of the key problem is how to migrate a virtual machine (VM) from one host to another trustily. To solving it, the lifecycle of VM, trusted proof of VM and other notions are presented in this paper. Moreover, the paper proposes a Trusted Virtual Machine Migration Protocol (TVMMP) which can guarantee the coherence and continuity of trusted status during the VM migration and provide secure aids for trusted migration of VM in the IaaS platform. Through the security analysis and comparison, it can be proved that the protocol is suitable for trusted computing cloud platform.
