  2. Agenda • Introduction • Cloud Computing • Virtualization • VM migration • Key Management in Cloud • Literature Survey • Survey Findings • Industry Survey • Community Response • Problem Statement • Proposed Architecture Design • Technology and standards • Future Milestones • References

  3. Cloud Computing • Cloud Services Model • SaaS • PaaS • IaaS • Cloud Federation • Federation Benefits • Cloud Burst • Load Balancing

  4. Virtualization • Virtualization • Types of Virtualization • Virtual Machine (VM)

  5. VM Migration • VM Migration • Live Migration (only shared storage) • Suspend/Pause and Transfer • Benefits of Migration • Load balancing • Disaster recovery • Hardware maintenance

  6. Key Management in Cloud • Service Side Encryption (SSE) with KMS provides • Data protection • Hardware Encryption (AES-NI) • Reduce client maintenance effort • Amazon /Google’s provides transparent encryption. • VM images (object), Volume, Data encryption • Creating, Storing, Protecting, and Providing access to keys.

  7. Literature Survey • Problem • Insecure VM migration in Xen/VMware/KVM. • Solution • Categorized Attack on VM migration into: • Control plane (Unauthorized migration operation) • Data plane (insecure channel) • Migration Module (buffer overflow issues) • Developed Xensploit Tool for exploitation Reference: J. Oberheide, E. Cooke and F. Jahanian, “Empirical exploitation of live Virtual Machine migration”, Proc. of BlackHat DC convention.

  8. Literature Survey • Problem • Inter Cloud VM mobility for cloud bursting and load balancing • Solution • Inter Cloud Proxies • Secure Channel between Proxies using SSH • Analysis • Tunnel does not provide host to host secure channel during migration. • Port forwarding on firewalls between the clouds • No Authorization mechanism. Reference: K. Nagin, D. Hadas, Z. Dubitzky, A. Glikson, I. Loy, B. Rochwerger and L. Schour, “Inter-cloud mobility of virtual machines”, International Conference on Systems and Storage, May 30-June 01, 2011, Haifa, Israel.

  9. Literature Survey • Problem • Trusted channel and remote attestation in VM migration • Solution • vTPM based migration proposed provides • Authentication, confidentiality, Integrity, • Reply Resistance, source non-repudiation • Two phases • Trusted channel establishment • VM and vTPM migration • Analysis • Authorization is not supported. • Dependency on TPM hardware . • Suspension of vTPM instance • Complex Key hierarchy from TPM to vTPM. • ` Reference: X. Wan, X. Zhang, L. Chen and J. Zhu, “An improved vTPM migration protocol based trusted channel”, International Conference on Systems and Informatics, 2012, pp. 871-875

  10. Literature Survey • Problem • VM migration is insecure process • Solution. • Load calculation on physical host • RSA with SSL protocol for authentication and encryption • Pre-copy or Post-copy migration techniques • Analysis. • Authorization is not supported • Neglected the affects of migration in cloud environment. Reference: V. P. Patil and G.A. Patil, “Migrating process and virtual machine in the cloud: load balancing and security perspectives,” International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Information Technology 2012, vol. 1, pp. 11-19.

  11. Literature Survey • Problem • Security and Reliability in VM migration • Solution. • Policy/Role based Migration approach • Consists of attestation service, seal storage, policy service, migration service and secure hypervisor components • Analysis. • Authentication is not supported • Dependency on TPM and Seal storage hardware. Reference: W. Wang, Y. Zhang, B. Lin, X. Wu and K. Miao, “Secured and reliable VM migration in personal cloud”, 2nd International Conference on Computer Engineering and Technology, 2010

  12. Literature Survey • Problem • Resource Optimization in Federated Cloud using VM migration. • Solution. • Monitor the current workload of the physical servers • Detect the overloaded servers efficiently • VM replacement considering the federated environment • Analysis. • No security feature is supported Reference: Y. Xu, Y. Sekiya , “Scheme of Resource Optimization using VM Migration for Federated Cloud Proceedings of the Asia-Pacific Advanced Network 2011 v. 32, p. 36-44

  13. Survey Findings Analysis of Existing Solutions and Approaches

  14. Survey FindingsIdentified Limitations • Security • Insufficient Access Control • Lack of Mutual Authentication • Lack of Confidentiality • Lack of Integrity • Implementation • Dependency on TPM/Seal Storage module • TPM is bottleneck • Leakage of information in vTPM. • Port forwarding on intermediate firewall

  17. Problem Statement This research work is intended to propose a secure migration of Encrypted Images of VM and their keys between CSP’s. Furthermore, we also propose enhanced key management which securely handle migrated keys.

  18. Cont.. A Dashboard/CLI B Load Monitoring Dashboard/CLI Load Monitoring Insecure channel 3 1 2 4 5 1 2 Encrypted Image Store, (Windows8, Ubuntu, Centos,Suse ) Xen/KVM Encrypted Images Store, (Windows8, Ubuntu, Centos,Suse) Xen/KVM Authentication/ Authorization Module Authentication/ Authorization Module Key Manager Key Manager Can not store migration keys

  19. Requirements for VM migrationProcess • Security: • Role based access control • Mutual Authentication (source non-repudiation and trust) • Confidentiality during migration process • Integrity of VM and Keys • Key Management: • Migrated Keys of Encrypted VM Images must be included in Key Manager of receiver CSP.
