基于可信虚拟域的云边界安全防护模型与方法研究

Existing security mechanisms fail to scale towards elastic clouds and defocused cloud edges. As a result, the Cloud Edge Security has been a main concern for security industries and researches, with its solutions yet to be found. This project will be the first to propose a unified Cloud Edge Security Protective Model, enlightened by the concept of Trusted Virtual Domains. Grounded in this theory, this project extends its focus towards several aspects of current information security researches: Focusing on threats caused by the share of computing resources between multiple VMs, the project comes up with a Memory Coloring solution to better manage the resource allocation and improve VM isolation. To secure the weak and unstable Domain migration process, this project will research on the methods of Domain migration and policy synchronization, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of VM migration procedures. To prevent unauthenticated data access between Domains of different security levels, this project will pursue proper access control and secure communication by new Attribute-Based Access Control and Group Key Agreement methods. The project also includes a system prototype of Secure Cloud Edge showing the feasibility of our models and methods. This research will seek breakthroughs in the Cloud Edge Security models and methods. It will surely add new bones into the studies of Cloud Security.

已有的安全机制无法满足云计算环境的动态性和边界泛化等特点，致使其边界安全成为信息安全领域亟待解决的核心问题。本项目借助可信虚拟域的概念，首先提出统一的云边界安全防护模型。并以此为理论依据，针对现有研究未能很好的解决虚拟机之间共享计算资源带来的安全隐患，项目从资源分配的角度，提出一种内存着色方案来改善虚拟机之间的隔离性；针对虚拟机跨域迁移时状态不稳定易受攻击的缺点，研究能够保证虚拟机跨域迁移数据机密性和完整性方法、迁移时安全策略的同步机制和安全监控策略。为了防止不同安全等级虚拟域、虚拟域之间数据的非法访问，研究虚拟域基于属性的访问控制与群密钥协商，实现虚拟域中数据的访问控制和安全通信；最后，搭建云计算虚拟边界原型系统来实证所提模型与方法机制的合理可行性。本项目力求在云环境下虚拟边界安全模型和部分相关机制方法方面取得突破，该研究理论与方法是对云计算安全领域的进一步丰富和创新。
