Secure live virtual machine migration by proposed security center

الملخص EN

In this paper, we propose a Security Center (SC) to provide a secure environment for Live Virtual Machine (VM) migration which is defined as the movement of a virtual machine from one physical host to another.

In the cloud systems, the migration has appeared based on the need of transferring VMs among resources.

At most, researchers have focused on the performance of migration process; whereas the security aspects in migration have not been fully explored.

So, we show how our proposed mechanism analyzes and fulfills the major security requirements for secure live VM migration in cloud environments to become protected against different types of passive and active attacks.
