Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed advanced hypervisor technologies to provide safety and security. We developed a fundamental technology with which a hypervisor displays messages such as disaster warnings on the desktop of a computer. We also developed an elemental technology to detect and disable malware in the hypervisor layer and a hypervisor for efficient malware analysis. Moreover, we analyzed recently collected malware samples and clarified the operations executed by sophisticated malware to countermeasure analysis. Furthermore, we developed a technology to store malware behavior logs compactly using context-free grammar. We also conducted investigation and experiments on malware behavior particularly related to sleep operations.
