Dmitriy Kostiuk: "Scaling down insecure desktop operating systems to virtualized desktop environments"

Description

Scaling down insecure desktop operating systems to virtualized desktop environments

Talk covers how virtualization can be used for isolated execution of insecure systems restricting them to the role of desktop environment with partial delegation of functionality (user management, networking, damage protection, etc.) to the host system. Related implementations and their attempts are reviewed, including Qube OS and Bedrock Linux. Modern VirtualBox and Qemu capabilities to transparently isolate graphical sessions are compared.A technology is described to turn independent OS into Linux-based desktop environment with some functionality invisibly served by host. An implementation details are reviewed on example of turning Microsoft Windows into virtualized Linux graphical session with preserved illusion of its normal user access management and network operation.
