  1. Data-Centric Security Dawn Song UC Berkeley Collaboration with Lorenzo Martignoni, Stephen McCamant, PongsinPoosankam, MateiZaharia, Scott Shenker, Ion Stoica, Vern Paxson, Emil, Elaine Shi, Petros, David Evans

  2. SVA Cryptographic secure computation e.g., Enforce properties on a malicious OS Binary translation andemulation Data-centric security e.g., Enable complex distributed systems, with resilience to hostile OS’s Formal methods Secure browser appliance transformation Hardware support for isolation Secure servers e.g., Prevent dataexfiltration Dealing with malicious hardware web-based architectures HARDWARE SYstem architectures

  3. Outline • Data-centric security: protecting the data directly instead of network or host-based protection • Three examples • Cloud-terminal: providing trusted input/output • Platform for private data • Secure web applications: GuardRails

  4. The Cloud Terminal Architecture for End-to-End Secure Applications Dawn Song with Lorenzo Martignoni, Stephen McCamant, PongsinPoosankam, MateiZaharia, Scott Shenker, Ion Stoica, Vern Paxson

  5. Motivation Sample application: online banking Quickly switch your PC to a secure operation mode Application provides a normal-looking graphical interface But, information security does not depend on your primary OS or any of its software Application environment is known clean Secure even if commodity OS is compromised by malware

  6. Strawman Approach: one VM per app Possible approach: one VM per secure app Pro: strong isolation Cons: Heavy weight Management overhead Multiple general-pupose VMs on one machine require complex hardware virtualization (e.g., Xen) Must be careful to keep secure VMs clean (e.g., roll back virtual disk after session) How can the bank know you're using a secure VM? Want to achieve similar isolation, but Much lighter weight on client side Centralize the application logic and administration Enable a new security abstraction

  7. VM Cloud Terminal Architecture Secure thin terminal General- purpose OS Application Virtual desktop server Lightweight hypervisor Cloud Rendering Engine Trusted Computing Hardware Encrypted tunnel

  8. Secure Thin Terminal Coexists with a general-purpose commodity OS But completely stand-alone and isolated: when it runs, the untrusted OS is suspended Display output: Reads encrypted bitmaps from the network, and decrypts and displays them Inputs Reads keyboard and mouse events, encrypts and sends them on the network Lightweight hypervisor enforces isolation Trusted boot using a TPM allows remote attestation, proving the STT is running unmodified on the bare hardware

  9. Cloud Rendering Engine Move application logic to centralized servers for ease of administration and protection Each user session has its own VM with chosen application Virtual desktop server (e.g., VNC) plus encrypting proxy Performance optimization VMs can share disk and memory copy-on-write to minimize resource usage Applications Standalone Browser applications

  10. Initial Prototype

  11. Results from Initial Prototype Secure Thin Terminal: only a few KLOC VNC client and drivers for input, graphics, and network Interactive latency (e.g., keystroke echo) low, even with a cloud server in another state Scalability for cloud rendering engine: A single commodity server can support more than 100 simultaneous rendering VMs

  12. Outline • Data-centric security: protecting the data directly instead of network or host-based protection • Three examples • Cloud-terminal: providing trusted input/output • Platform for private data • Secure web applications: GuardRails

  13. Motivating Applications

  14. Protecting users’ data is an intricate issue! • Apps selling your data • Inadvertent disclosure • AOL search log scandal • Netflix contest • Malware and software compromise • RockYou password leakage • Insider attack • Google incident

  15. Platform for Private Data • Provide desired services in the cloud while ensuring security and privacy of customers’ data • Provide privacy & trust evidence • Customer does not just rely on trust on service provider • Provide trustworthy audit trails • For forensics, provenance, accountability, dispute • General architecture for broad applicability • Practical performance & usability

  16. Platform for private data and privacy evidence Application: Financial advisor Application: Drug side effect tracker API Privacy evidence Platform for Private Data

  17. Architecture • Secure data capsule • Data encrypted at rest • Security policy attached to data • Trusted computing hardware provides root of trust • Secure execution environment • Data capsule only decrypted in secure execution environment • Only authorized code can access and operate on data • New programming model for privacy-aware applications • Support for legacy applications • Program analysis and information flow • Advanced engines for database queries and privacy-preserving data analytics • Secure auditing

  18. Application Application Info flow tracking Operations on sensitive data Secure Execution Environment Secure data capsules … Platform for Private Data (TCB) Privacy evidence Diff. Priv. Engine Query Engine Policy Engine Audit Engine TPM & Processor isolation

  19. Outline • Data-centric security: protecting the data directly instead of network or host-based protection • Three examples • Cloud-terminal: providing trusted input/output • Platform for private data • Secure web applications: guardrails

  20. Ruby on Rails Code Policy Annotations Attach Policies to Data Little developer effort Improved readability and analyzability Secure Web Application Automatically enforce policies throughout application Jonathan Burket, Patrick Mutchler, Michael Weaver, MuzzammilZaveri, David Evans. GuardRails: A Data-Centric Web Application Security Framework. To appear in USENIX WebApps 2011. OWASP AppSec DC

  21. Example Policies Policies are attached to classes or individual fields. Can perform arbitrary checking and actions based on read, edit, append, create, destroy events.

  22. Conclusion • Data-centric security: protecting the data directly instead of network or host-based protection • Three examples • Cloud-terminal: providing trusted input/output • Platform for private data • Secure web applications: GuardRails
