Virtualisation is a key potential approach to alleviating performance issues within constrained environments. However, within defence environments, security is a constant concern, and virtualised environments must be assessed to ensure that they do not introduce additional security risks with their introduction.
In this research, we explore security issues within defence and constrained environments, including analysis of existing virtualisation environments for security concerns, identification and mitigation against security attacks, and the design and development of virtualised environments that are more resilient against security attacks.

New Project: Investigation into Virtualisation Security
CDIT has commenced a new collaborative project with DSTO investigating security and isolation within virtualised environments. We will be investigating security domain classification and isolation concerns, exploring the security implications of using virtualised environments within secure real-time systems.
