The trusted virtual data center (TVDc) is a technology developed
to address the need for strong isolation and integrity guarantees in
virtualized environments. In this paper, we extend previous work on
the TVDc by implementing controlled access to networked storage
based on security labels and by implementing management
prototypes that demonstrate the enforcement of isolation
constraints and integrity checking. In addition, we extend the
management paradigm for the TVDc with a hierarchical
administration model based on trusted virtual domains and describe
the challenges for future research.
