Seminar: Trusted Virtual Data Center Technologies

This talk introduces the Trusted Virtual Data Center (TVDc), which
is designed to offer strong enterprise-level security guarantees
in hosted data center environments. The IBM Trusted Virtual Data
Center, a project defined and pursued by the Secure Systems Department
at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in Hawthorne NY, is designed
to satisfy business-level security goals by simplifying management
and providing explicit infrastructure-level containment and trust
guarantees for data center environments based on virtualization.
This talk will focus on the technologies -- developed at the
Secure Systems Department -- that drive the Trusted Virtual Data
Center, including the integrity measurement architecture (IMA), the
secure hypervisor architecture (sHype), and the virtualized trusted
platform module (vTPM).  We will close with future work and open
research problems.  The seminar will be on February 16th, 2007
at 11am in LC102.
