Secure operations for virtual machines

摘要

In one implementation, a secure operation system initiates a secure operation associated with a virtual machine hosted at a secured host, and determines when the secure operation is complete. In response to determining that the secure operation is complete, the secure operation system migrates the virtual machine to a host other than the secured host.

主权项

1. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing instructions that when executed cause a system to:
receive an indication that a virtual machine is to begin a secure operation that includes accessing cryptographic data; in response to the received indication, migrate the virtual machine from a first host to a secured host, wherein the secured host includes a security mechanism to provide security, and wherein the first host is without the security mechanism while the virtual machine executes on the first host; in response to the migrating, initiate the secure operation of the virtual machine at the secured host; determine that the secure operation of the virtual machine at the secured host is complete; and migrate the virtual machine from the secured host to a host other than the secured host in response to the determining that the secure operation of the virtual machine at the secured host is complete.
