Qin Yuan, Shen Zhi Sheng, Zhang Qun, Dichen

With the wide application of cloud computing, virtual machine technology has been revived and developed, but it also brings new security threats, so the research on the security threat and defense of virtual machines has become a hotspot in the field of computer security. Taking the current widely used virtual machine Xen as an example, this paper analyzes the existing vulnerabilities and threats according to the technical characteristics of virtual machines, and puts forward the corresponding defense and protection methods from the angle of computer security science. This paper summarizes the research results of all aspects of virtual machine security at home and abroad, points out the existing problems and discusses the next research direction through the comparison and analysis of the system.
