Abstract:
A novel approach is introduced for secured live migration of a software component currently running on one hosting device to another hosting device. One or more pages of the software component are encrypted before migration of the software component, and are later decrypted after the migration is complete. The software component is kept operational during the encryption, migration, and decryption of the software component. The one or more pages to be encrypted and decrypted can be selected based on data sensitivity and/or other criteria.
