IBM Pledges To Make Xen More Secure

Posted by Hemos on from the getting-news-for-development dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In the latest posting on the Xen developer list, IBM pledges to make Xen more secure by porting its secure hypervisor (sHype) architecture to it. In their posting, IBM discusses an SELinux like access control frame work, resource control and monitoring and trusted computing support for Xen. It appears that a lot is happening on the Xen front (for example, the announcement of XenSource Inc. and Intel's code drop in the xeno-unstable.bk tree for their super secret VT CPU)."

      Yes. I'm thinking Xen is already as secure as it's going to be thanks to the efforts of one Gordon Freeman.

    One cannot simply hear the answer, for the answer is inside you waiting for you to quiet your mind so that it may rise to the surface. To achieve this, meditate upon the forgotten reference that was and is a part of the unseen aspect of the article. Meditate upon the vista of this.
