Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present VirtSecIO, a hypervisor-based platform for executing secure modules. VirtSecIO provides the modules with secure paths to peripheral devices, which can be shared between the modules and the operating system. Moreover, VirtSecIO is a thin hypervisor with a negligible performance overhead and a minimal attack surface. We demonstrate VirtSecIO’s abilities by developing HyperWallet, a secure module that acts as a hardware crypto-wallet, without requiring any dedicated hardware.
