Abstract
Cloud computing is the at the business epitome of the computational paradigm that has innovated for major gains being achieved by apparently anybody who makes use of its services. The security problems seem to persist at every hierarchy in this model supporting. This paper presents a brief study on the issues and challenges faced in cloud computing in case the foremost layer, Hypervisor is compromised. Initially, we identify the evasive reasons under which a hypervisor or virtual machine monitor can be compromised. A long term significance regarding protection of the core and other documented problems are enlisted, finally analyzing the taxonomy of the security issues pertaining to hypervisors and their exhibited weaknesses.
