Re: [nvo3] draft-wei-nvo3-security-framework-00 is posted, please review 
it






Just to double-check:

- This draft looks at security from the standpoint
  of tenants being potentially malicious, but the provider
  infrastructure is all trusted.

Yinxing> Tenants are potentially malicious. The reason is that some 
tenants may compete with each 
other and want to abtain sensitive information from others.
As to whether the provider infrastructure is trusted or not, it may depend 
on business model. For example, 
one operator provides Infrastructure service, another provides tenant 
service based on the previous one. 
Different operator may have different security policies. In this case, the 
provider infrastructure may be 
untrusted.

- It assumes that the provider-managed equipment
  is not compromised (e.g. the hypervisor is never
  compromised).

Yinxing> We can take this assumption that provide-managed equipment is not 
compromised. However, there exist some
virtualization-based attacks, such as Blue Pill, SubVirt, etc. It may be 
necessary to do some risk assessment.

Is this correct?
