Putting together the VMM architecture, TCG hardware and application-oriented ＂thin＂ virtual machine （VM）, Trusted VMM-based security architecture is present in this paper with the character of reduced and distributed trusted computing base （TCB）. It provides isolation and integrity guarantees based on which general security requirements can be satisfied.展开更多
