Abstract
An approach to securely distributing and running virtual machines is described that addresses the inherent insecurity of mobile virtual machines by authenticating a user before establishing a specialized virtualization runtime environment that includes a filesystem driver inserted into the host operating system to provide secure access to a virtual machine by authorized hypervisors only. Further described is the creation of a SecureVM package that includes the various components used to perform the operations of installation, user authentication and establishment of the specialized virtualization runtime environment.
