In cloud environment, the code of pivotal business in Virtual Machine (VM) can be modified by malicious software in many ways, which can pose a threat to its stable operation. Traditional measurement systems based on host are liable to be bypassed or attacked. To solve the problem that it is difficult to obtain a complete virtual machine running process code and verify its integrity at Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) layer, a paging-measurement method based on hardware virtualization was proposed. The Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) was used as the VMM to capture the system calls of virtual machine process in VMM and regarde it as the trigger point of the measurement process; the semantic differences of different virtual machine versions were solved by using relative address offset, then the paging-measurement method could verify the code integrity of running process in virtual machine transparently at VMM layer. The implemented prototype system of VMPMS (Virtual Machine Paging-Measurement System) can effectively measure the virtual machine process code with acceptable performance loss.
