Mobile virtualization VMWare MVP

MVP = Mobile Virtualization alization Platform Mobile Virtualization Platform; it is a Mobile Virtualization Platform provided by VMWare, and the target devices are Mobile phones and tablets.

With the MVP-driven approach, the MVP does not need to change when running standard mobile operating systems in the kernel. This kernel is not the kernel of the Android operating system, but the Hypervisor of hardware virtualization. The VMWare documentation describes "Based on a hard real-time, certified microkernel ". Standard Mobile OS is generally Android, while VM Mobile OS is Windows Mobile (consistent with office application environment UX ).

Security Question 1: as the Virtual Machine and standard mobile operating system are both running in the same kernel environment, it is possible to enter the virtual machine from the standard mobile operating system. Solution:

• Solve this problem through encryption. Virtual machines and virtual mobile OS will be encrypted and stored in a specific storage, and can only be loaded by VMware when necessary.
• Run two VMS

Security Question 2: Encrypted img may be decrypted. Solution: Before decryption, you must connect to the enterprise network to obtain the key. The key is not stored locally.

Security Question 3: 3G Modem identification in two systems. This problem does not exist in tablets that only provide 3G data connections. in mobile phones, both systems need to use 3G modules, such as telephone and data connections. How can we differentiate which data is system 1, what is System 2? Solution: Dual-card solution: One Card for one OS

Virtual machines provide the commercial environment and the original personal environment isolation, and the dual systems run at the same time and are isolated from each other:

1) with the development of mobile chips, higher-performance Hypervisor and high-performance Virtual mobile OS become possible.

2) provides commercial services through cloud applications on virtual mobile OS, such as browser-based applications and virtual applications, to further enhance the security of the commercial environment and improve efficiency
