Protected KVM on Arm64: A Technical Deep Dive

Linux Foundation via YouTube

Overview

Dive into a comprehensive technical exploration of Protected KVM (pKVM) for Arm64 architecture in this 50-minute conference talk. Learn about this Confidential Computing solution designed for Arm v8.0+ CPUs, particularly targeting SoCs without dedicated hardware extensions. Discover how pKVM extends the existing KVM/arm64 nVHE hypervisor to manage the CPU's stage-2 MMU, enabling enhanced security through access-control restrictions on host accesses to guest memory. Explore the architecture and implementation of pKVM, including its applicability to various domains such as mobile (Android). Gain insights into potential opportunities for sharing core infrastructure with other Confidential Computing solutions like Intel TDX, AMD SEV, and Arm CC-A.
