Preventing The Acquisition Of Data From Virtual Machine Based Secure Portableexecution Environments, Peter James
Preventing The Acquisition Of Data From Virtual Machine Based Secure Portableexecution Environments, Peter James
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
A Virtual Machine (VM) based secure Portable Execution Environment (PEE) provides a safe and secure environment that can be loaded into a host PC and an application executed with a degree of confidence that the application is separated, protected and little or no forensic evidence remains after the application has executed. A VM based secure PEE is characterised as a USB storage device containing a VM with a trusted guest operating system and application(s) which is stored in a protected partition, strong authentication to only allow an authorised user to load the VM into the host PC, and full storage …

Secure Portable Execution Environments: A Review Of Available Technologies, Peter James
Australian Information Security Management Conference
Live operating systems and virtualisation allow a known, defined, safe and secure execution environment to be loaded in to a PC’s memory and executed with either minimal or possibly no reliance on the PC’s internal hard disk drive. The ability to boot a live operating system or load a virtual environment (containing an operating system) from a USB storage device allows a secure portable execution environment to be created. Portable execution environments have typically been used by technologists, for example to recover data from a failing PC internal hard disk drive or to perform forensic analysis. However, with the commercial …
