JVM-Based Dynamic Attestation in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing has brought academic and industry tremendous benefits and improved computing efficiency compared with the traditional model, however, the adoption of this unique model also exacerbates security challenges and raises trust risks. And existing security solutions have less effectiveness and efficiency upon these unchartered cloud threats. We introduce trusted computing into current cloud platform to address the above issues and design JVM-based Dynamic Attestation Architecture, DTEM, to support application services with robust security guarantee. This framework gives trusted-degree estimate for the deployment and runtime status of an application as well as dynamically responds remote attestation with integrity proof of running applications.
