Enhancing the Hypervisor as a Second Layer of Authentication

Abstract

Hosting Services Over The Internet Has Become One Of The Most Terms Pervaded The IT World. Cloud Computing Is A General Term Refers To The Platform Of Hardware And Software Being Used To Migrating Computing Resources To A Virtualized Environment. It Enables Users To Consume Resources, Such As A Virtual Machine (VM), Storage, Or Use A Utility From Anywhere. In This Regard, Hypervisor Or Virtualization Is A Program Designed Specifically To Facilitate The Hosting Of Several Different Virtual Machines On A Single Hardware. Being Said That, Hypervisors May Also Provide Additional Attack Vectors As They Are Commonly Supported By A Simple Password Authentication Scheme. Such Scheme Is Entirely Based On Confidentiality And The Strength Of The Password, Which Is Vulnerable To Various Attacks Such As Offline Password Guessing Attack And A Privileged Insider's Attack. In This Paper, A Second Level Of Authentication Process Is Introduced To Provide Further Security Countermeasures For The Hypervisor Management System. Because Of The Maturity Of These Systems In General, It Is Important To Ground Our Approach. To This End, A Model Is Provided That Utilizes The Encryption Technique In Order To Introduce Better Authentication Process For The Existed Multiple Hypervisor Systems With Little Modification.
