| Research Abstract |
This study has developed a mechanism for preventing information leakage from virtual machines (VMs) to cloud administrators. First, the mechanism protects sensitive information in the VM's memory by encrypting the memory contents at the hypervisor level. In addition, it enables VM migration by identifying unencrypted memory regions. Second, the mechanism protects sensitive keystrokes and screen information by encrypting inputs and outputs between the hypervisor and remote management clients.
