Abstract

See full text

A secure component communication management system provides secure, trusted communication between components in a hypervisor based virtual computing environment. A hypervisor security extension generates a container level private key/public key pair. The hypervisor security extension container injects the container level public key into one or more VM(s) that are to securely receive trustworthy data. The hypervisor security extension container encrypts data to transmit to VMs with the container level private key, and injects the encrypted data into one or more target VM(s), such that the injected data is trusted by the VM(s). The one or more VM(s) receive the container level public key and data encrypted with the container level private key, injected by the hypervisor security extension container. These VM(s) use the public key to decrypt injected data encrypted with the private key, such that the decrypted data is trusted.
