[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] Virtualization videos from Platform Security Summit 2019
Xen, OpenXT, QubesOS and embedded developers may be interested in these videos. The first (IBM ppc Ultravisor with extended Q&A) is related to past discussions of minimal L0 Xen in firmware, similar to HP/Bromium nesting-optimized hypervisor. The second is related to kexec and TrenchBoot, which (video TBD) was demoed booting Xen with AMD SKINIT DRTM on PC Engines $150 APU2 with TPM 2.0. The third describes a custom AMD Jaguar-derived SoC with a precursor to AMD's PSP, running a minimal version of Hyper-V called Nanovisor. The fourth describes changes to Windows and x86 firmware/hardware for virtualization-based security. Rich Protected Execution Facility: We present the Protected Execution Facility ― an architecture modification for IBM Linux and OpenPower Linux servers ― along with the associated firmware, the Protected Execution Ultravisor which provides additional security to virtual machines ― called secure virtual machines (SVMs). The Protected Execution Facility concurrently supports both normal VMs and SVMs. https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/hunt/ LinuxBoot progress: boot anything from Linux: LinuxBoot replaces traditionally closed source firmware (e.g. UEFI) with an open, auditable, and measurable Linux kernel and initramfs. We’ll present an overview of LinuxBoot, its part in the boot integrity story, and talk about newly gained abilities to boot VMware, Xen, and Windows from Linux, and future plans. https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/koch/ Guarding Against Physical Attacks: The Xbox One Story: ... describe the Xbox security design goals and why it needs to guard against hardware attacks, followed by descriptions of the hardware and software architecture to keep the Xbox secure. This includes details about the custom SoC we built with AMD and how we addressed the fact that all data read from flash, the hard drive, and even DRAM cannot be trusted. We will also discuss the corresponding software changes we made to keep the system and the games secure. https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/chen Advancing Windows Security: ... the OS security engineering team at Microsoft has built a strategy to address new and challenging attacks. This talk will walk attendees through Windows current and future security strategy and the engineering challenges with scaling across new devices, form factors, and threat models ... https://www.platformsecuritysummit.com/2019/speaker/weston/ _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
