Abstract

The system (100) of the present invention to secure Virtual Machine images in cloud computing comprising at least one hypervisor with Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) (122) embedded with at least one Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Key Manager (TkM) module (150) associated with at least one Trusted Platform Module (160); at least one Cloud Manager (CM) module (120) configured with serial communication function; at least one trusted storage server (170) storing modified Virtual Machine images with sealed key indexed by Virtual Machine Universally Unique Identifier (UUID); and at least one Serial Guest Control interface (130) embedded in kernel module configured with serial communication function and interface to said Cloud Manager (CM) module (120). The general methodology of the present invention comprises steps of configuring a server with at least one Cloud Manager (CM) module and at least one Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Key Manager (TkM) module (150) associated with at least one Trusted Platform Module (160) by creating new Virtual Machines in the cloud (202); generating Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Key for Virtual Machine (206); installing and compiling Virtual Machines with new module containing encrypted static object of kernel module with said symmetric key (208); sealing said symmetric key of the Virtual Machine associated with Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with Virtual Machine Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) (210, 212); storing said sealed key and modified Virtual Machine images indexed with Virtual Machine Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) into a trusted storage server (214); and accessing said Virtual Machines by decrypting said static object of kernel module using stored unseal symmetric key during booting process (216). The distinctiveness lies in the utilization of embedded new module comprising static object encryption module and built-in serial communication in the kernel of Virtual Machine (VM) images to provide a system and method to protect Virtual Machine (VM) images from running in different cloud providers.
