If all goes as planned we'll have a presentation:

Title:

Supporting Security Sensitive Tenants in a Bare-Metal Cloud

Abstract:

SecCloud is a new architecture for bare-metal clouds that enables tenants to control tradeoffs between security, price, and performance. It enables security-sensitive tenants to minimize their trust in the public cloud provider and achieve similar levels of security and control that they can obtain in their own private data centers, while not imposing overhead on tenants that are se- curity insensitive and not compromising the flexibility or opera- tional efficiency of the provider.

This work was done in the context of the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC): an experimental public cloud tailored for academic research.
