  • ENTROPY RESOURCE ALLOCATION MANAGEMENT IN VIRTUALIZED ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20150199217
    Abstract: A virtual machine monitor can be enhanced to provide entropy resource management in a virtualized environment. The VM monitor can obtain entropy from an entropy source to fill an entropy bank. The VM monitor can also distribute entropy symbols from the entropy bank to VM guests in a manner that ensures VM isolation. That is, when a first VM guest requests one or more entropy symbols, the VM monitor reads the requested number of entropy symbols from the entropy bank and deletes the read entropy symbols from the entropy bank so that upon a subsequent request by the first VM guest or a request from a second VM guest fresh entropy symbols will be read from entropy bank.
