Re: [Xen-devel] sHype Hypervisor Security Architecture for Xen

[Jeff Marshall <jeffrey_g_marshall@xxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone from the Xen community been following the
development of the draft "U.S. Government Protection
Profile for Separation Kernels in Environments
Requiring High Robustness", which has lately been
discussed at Open Group?

http://www.niap.nist.gov/pp/draft_pps/pp_draft_skpp_hr_v0.621.html

The concept of a separation kernel in that protection
profile has a fair amount of overlap with Xen,
although the match is not complete (i.e. configuration
data is static in the SKPP). Still, the PP has some
interesting xen-relevant bits if you're willing to
wade through the boilerplate that permeates protection
profiles. In any case, while I doubt Xen will ever
pursue Common Criteria evaluation under this profile,
the security-concious portion of the Xen community
might get something out of reading it.

Regards,

Jeff Marshall
