An Authentication Framework for Securing Virtual Machine Migration

Virtual Machine (VM) migration has recently received significant attention to address the issue of load balancing, system maintenance, intelligent energy management of the data center. However, the migration trust and security concerns still exist real in the placement of VM. In To resolve these challenging problems, we use the existing authentication schemes and also we propose an authentication framework as a basic and practical component of secure VM migration process. Especially, in the proposed framework, the physical machines (PM) which are distributed in diverse data centers can accomplish mutual authentication, launch the shared session key Diffie-Hellman exchange protocol, with the public session key between PMs and hash based authentications. In this work, a comprehensive security scrutiny shows that the anticipated framework can assure the desired security necessities of VM migration.
