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)."

    Redmond software, with its web of trust
    Pulls the users around by their technolust
    With crappy software that should be left to rust

    Give me the Trusted Computing blues
    Blues that I can't use
    Swap my Linux for Windows
    Lord, make me pay my dues

    I love IBM like a jailbird loves the key
    Like a Finland hacker loves the CVS tree
    Bigger blues come and set my PC free
