摘要	Recent maturity of virtualization has enabled its wide adoption in cloud environment. However, legacy security issues still exist in the cloud and are further enlarged. For instance, the execution of untrusted software may cause more harm to system security. Though conventional sandboxes can be used to constrain the destructive program behaviors, they suffer from various deficiencies. In this paper, we propose VCCBox, a practical sandbox that confines untrusted applications in cloud environment. Leveraging the state-of-the-art hardware assisted virtualization technology and novel design, it is able to work effectively and efficiently. VCCBox implements its system call interception and access control policy enforcement inside the hypervisor and create an interface to dynamically load policies. The in-VMM design renders our system hard to bypass and easy to deploy in cloud environment, and dynamic policy loading provides high efficiency. We have implemented a proof-of-concept system based on Xen and the evaluation exhibits that our system achieves the design goal of effectiveness and efficiency.
