Security

This workshop, the first of its kind to deal exclusively with virtual
machine security, will tackle the important research topics in
virtualization security. Virtualization has seen an explosion in growth
in deployment, implementations, and applications. Virtualization holds
unique properties that make it attractive for security including
isolation, compartmentalization, live state capture, and replay.
Virtualization has been used to study malicious software as well as to
prevent malicious software infection. In addition, virtualization
itself is now the subject of attack. This workshop aims to bring
together leading researchers in the fields of virtualization and
security to present the latest work on these topics.
