Explore the capabilities of ARMv8 virtualization in this 38-minute conference talk presented by Janne Karhunen and Jani Hyvönen from Digital 14 at a Linux Foundation Security Summit. Delve into ARMv8 basics, focusing on 2-stage translation, and learn how to create a secure hideout, lift the host kernel, implement kernel protection, and slice up KVM. Gain insights into the overall system architecture, understand how it functions, and examine the VIRTIO case. Discover useful memory protection techniques to enhance your virtualization knowledge and skills.
