[Xen-devel] Zero RAM xm destroy



Hi Everyone,

I've just had a "eureka" moment on how to prevent (or make harder) "cold boot attacks".

Am I correct in saying that when the admin issues "xm destroy <domID>" into the Dom0 shell, then 100% of the DomU ram is zero'ed immediately?

If so, could one use this as a security measure, in case server room intrusion is detected?

Thanks
