题目: Cloud Computing Infrastructure Security

报告人: 宁鹏教授，美国北卡罗来纳州立大学

摘要:

    Cloud computing is emerging as a promising solution to Information Technology (IT) management to both ease the provisioning and administration of complex hardware and software systems and reduce the operational costs. Several industry and university leaders have started to offer cloud computing services, including Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), DropBox, RackSpace, and NC State Virtual Computing Lab (VCL). With the industry's continuous investment, cloud computing is likely to be a major component of the future IT solution, which will have significant impact on almost all sectors of society. The trustworthiness of cloud computing is thus critical to the well-being of all organizations or individuals that will rely on cloud computing for their IT solutions.

    In this talk, I will review the new threats to cloud computing and present a security architecture for compute clouds, which has been used to guide our research on cloud infrastructure security in the past few years. I will also present one of our recent results called SICE, which can provide a hardware-level strongly isolated computing environment for x86 multi-core platforms.
