In this paper we explore how recent advances in virtualisation support for commodity hardware could be utilised to reduce the Trusted Computing Base (TCB) and improve the code separation of a hypervisor. To achieve this, we reassess on the definition of the TCB and illustrate how segregation of different code blocks could be enforced by hardware protection mechanisms. We argue that many software-based efforts in TCB reduction and separation can benefit from utilising those hardware capabilities. |
