A remote attestation mechanism based on credible virtual machine and its application

Remote attestation based on credible virtual machine can better solve security problem in traditional network authentication. Aiming at problem in traditional remote authentication that limited to user identity but not considering security of platform where user located, a kind of improved remote attestation mechanism based on credible virtual machine was proposed. The credible virtual machine was firstly constructed based on virtual machine technique and credible computation platform. The remote attestation process based on credible virtual machine was presented. The shortcomings of traditional network authentication were also analyzed and an improved method was brought out. The remote attestation based on credible virtual machine can not only assure correct user identity, but also ensure user´s safety and integrity, so as to make up deficiencies of traditional remote authentication.
