Abstract

Cloud computing has become more and more popular and the technology of rapid virtual machine (VM) cloning is widely used in cloud computing environment to implement the fast deployment of VMs to meet the need of bursting computational request. However, the security issue of VM cloning technology is not considered thoroughly in current approaches. This paper proposes a virtual machine cloning approach based on trusted computing which deals with memory and disk of a VM separately. This approach resolves three problems: the identities verification of involved servers; the attestation of source VM and destination VM; the protection of integrity of transmitted data. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.11591/telkomnika.v11i11.3558
