Think Small: Practical Virtualization for Mobile Devices
Isolation via Type I and Type II virtualization plays an important role in enhancing the security of traditional desktop, server and cloud architectures. However, a naïve application of these technologies to mobile devices may result in severe performance, usability and system complexity issues. Although the limited and constrained resources of mobile devices are certainly factors in this, an understanding of the fundamental differences between traditional and mobile system architectures results in more interesting insights into the problem. Combining these insights with a consideration of end-users’ needs and an understanding of the original design tenets enables the realization of effective and practical security enhancements for these devices. This talk describes a novel, “mobile-friendly” virtualization architecture that was designed using these principles and successfully implemented in Android. The design addresses end-user requirements while preserving the tenets of an open architecture and expected levels of performance and usability.
