TCvisor: A hypervisor level secure storage

In this paper, we present design and implementation of TCvisor, a new trusted hypervisor. To this end, TCvisor provides a secure storage with different isolated view per user by using para-passthrough and combined key. In this regard, virtualization technology of processors has been used for complete isolation from operating system. By combining TPM base key, user's password and geo function key, TCvisor provides a secure storage in an environment with split data. We have applied feature wise security analysis TCvisor's secure storage from software system layers point then we have compared performance of TCvisor to selected candidates of existing layers.
