Bunker-V – secure virtualisation from Microsoft

Posted by Ken Y-N on June 16th, 2010 at 03:40pm

The All About Microsoft blog on ZDNet had an interesting post regarding a new (and apparently relatively secret) virtualisation project for Cloud Computing. An interesting part is this:

Bunker-V is focused on reducing the TCB [Trusted Computing Base] attack surface by minimizing the interface between the TCB and guest VMs by eliminating unnecessary virtual devices. Microsoft says that this approach can reduce the TCB by 79% while retaining high performance for legacy OSes.

Seems to be a topic that is worth following.
