System and Method for Security Health Monitoring And Attestation Of Virtual Machines In Cloud Computing Systems

摘要

A system for security health monitoring and attestation of virtual machines in cloud computing systems is provided. The system includes a cloud server having a virtual machine and a hypervisor. The cloud server collects security measurement information and signs and hashes the security measurement information using a cryptography engine. The system also includes an attestation server for receiving the hashed security measurement information from the cloud server. The attestation server also verifies the signature and hash values, and interprets the security measurement information. The attestation server generates an attestation report based on the verification and interpretation of the security measurement information.
