A Measurement Method of Side-Channel-Attacks Threat for Co-Residency Virtual Machines Based on Cloud Model
A cloud model-based method for measuring the side-channel-attacks threat of the co-residency virtual machines is proposed to solve the potential threat problem of the side-channel-attacks
which is caused by the fact that some malicious users stealthily obtain other users' private information through detecting and analyzing the physical resources shared among the co-residency virtual machines in the cloud platform. Based on the analysis of the side-channel-attacks features
the method makes a comprehensive evaluation for users' potential threat from side-channel-attacks by using the cloud model
which has great advantages in the uncertainty conversion of multi-attribute decision making and the evaluation of fuzziness and randomness. Experimental results show that the maximum similarities 58.42%
36.47% and 46.96% of the cloud users in the evaluation of the proposed method comply with the assumed threat level
proving the feasibility of the method. The method comprehensively considers the indexes of the side-channel-attacks threat
takes full advantage of the cloud model in metrics
and provides an important basis for the research and application of the side-channel-attacks threat detection and defense for co-residency virtual machines in cloud environment.
