dc.description.abstract | As malware continue to evolve, so do the countermeasures which attempt to fight
them. A modern computer system typically has many security services installed
on top of its operating system which include antivirus, application-control, IDS,
firewall, and many more.
Modern operating systems are a highly complex pieces of software which
typically contains millions of lines of code. Furthermore, primarily due to endless
hardware support, new code is regularly added, resulting in a security sink with
an open drain.
Most security services run on top of the operating system and, therefore,
are subject to the security of the operating system and its applications. In case of
a vulnerability, these services can be removed, thus rendering them them completely
useless. This thesis proposes a thin hypervisor-based architecture for a
system on top of which a variety of security services can be implemented. These
services run in a secure, isolated environment. Furthermore, the proposed system
can hide the presence of these security services. The proposed system architecture
provides strong security guarantees.
The thesis presents four common, heavily researched security problems and
proposes four solutions, which are all based on the proposed architecture. The
proposed solutions can compete, and even outperform current solutions, both in
terms of security and performance.
