Research Abstract

We have carried out the research on virtual machine technologies for enforcing the security of operating systems by monitoring the flow of information. We have developed a virtual machine monitor technology for monitoring I/O access to devices, allowing the virtual machine monitor to mediate and protect file access from the operating systems.
