Abstract Virtualization is the backbone of cloud computing, which is a developing and widely used paradigm. By finding and merging identical memory pages, memory deduplication improves memory efficiency in virtualized systems. Kernel Same Page Merging (KSM) is a Linux service for memory pages sharing in virtualized environments. Memory deduplication is vulnerable to a memory disclosure attack, which uses covert channel establishment to reveal the contents of other colocated virtual machines. To avoid a memory disclosure attack, sharing of identical pages within a single user’s virtual machine is permitted, but sharing of contents between different users is forbidden. In our proposed approach,… More >
