Trusted virtual machine management model for cloud computing by Zhen-ji ZHOU, Li-fa WU, Zheng HONG, Hai-guang LAI, Cheng-hui ZHENG

“…For virtual machine in cloud computing,the authorization of manager domain is too centralized to be secure,and the strategies of tenants can be easily falsified.In view of the two problems,a trusted virtual machine management Model for cloud computing infrastructure is proposed.The model provides fine grained manager domain of virtual machine in which both managers and tenants are strictly constrained when they operate on other tenant domains.The sensitive code and data in tenant virtual machine cannot be accessed or falsified without permission.The model creates a trustable tunnel between tenant and system domain,and distributes tenant strategies using the tunnel in a secure way.Security analysis and experimental results show the model ensures the security of tenant data and tenant strategies effectively.…”

Flow control random access protocol for event-driven machine-to-machine traffics in LTE network by Liu YANG, Ping-zhi FAN, Li HAO

“…A flow control random access protocol for event-driven machine-to-machine traffics in LTE network is pro-posed.The beta distribution is adopted to model the event-driven M2M traffics.This protocol uses the random access preamble free ratio in a fixed number of slots to estimate the channel load and calculate the flow control factor to control the flow.The throughput performance of the proposed protocol is modeled and analyzed,and compared with the random access protocol in LTE system.It is shown that the proposed protocol performs much better because it can estimate the system load accurately in most situations and reduce collision by flow control factor.…”
