Abstract

To handle information leaks caused by administrative errors or mishandling, a function for tracing the diffusion of classified information using a virtual machine monitor (VMM) was proposed. However, the proposed function has not been investigated in cases in which virtual machines (VMs) allocated by multiple virtual central processing units (vCPUs) are to be monitored. In addition, cases in which multiple VMs are monitored have not been examined. In this study, we describe the support of multiple VMs for the proposed VMM-based tracing function. We also show how to deal with VMs allocated by multiple vCPUs. Furthermore, we report the evaluation results from assessing the traceability of the improved proposed method and its overhead for classified information when a VM with multiple vCPUs is monitored.
