Abstract

Hypervisors are an excellent tool for increasing the security of commodity software against attack. In this paper, we discuss some of the lessons and insights we gained from designing and implementing four research prototypes that use hypervisors to secure commodity systems. We also compare our findings with other approaches to implementing security in a hypervisor
