Session topics and papers include trusted virtualization and trusted grid (including trusted logging for grid computing and secure virtual disk images for grade computing), trusted computing technologies (a practical solution to trusted computing platform testing and trusted connections between mobile nodes and mobility anchor points in hierarchical mobile IPv6), trusted computing applications (secure mobile payment via trusted computing and enriched trusted platforms and their applications on DRM), and formal aspects of trust and security (including specifications and verification of an extended security policy model for database systems and verification methods for component compositions).
Users also can provision new virtual disks from an NFS snapshot, allowing rapid deployment of new virtual disks from a copy/snapshot of an existing virtual disk.
