A Security Enforcement Framework for Virtual Machine Migration Auction

Published: 12 October 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Virtual machine migration auction (VMMA) is a bidding process to select potential target cloud service providers (CSPs) for migration. It is realized as a single application running on top of the hypervisor, where the overall communication between the CSPs is done through the Internet, an insecure channel. Therefore, ensuring security along with performance satisfaction of the VMMA system is an important but challenging problem. This requires identification of various threats and development of security and systematic protection mechanism.
In this paper, we present a security enforcement framework for VMMA system. The core element of our proposed framework identifies various potential threats and security constraints by investigating different interactions between participants in VMMA system. Then our framework extracts a set of formal security requirements based on the identified threats which enforces the security by using elliptic curve cryptography and bilinear pairing. Our approach will facilitate in designing and implementing strong security defense-in-depth against various threats to VMMA system in cloud computing platform.
