As many companies are considering to use server virtualization technology to reduce cost, the crime rates in virtual server environment are expected to be increasing rapidly. The server virtualization solution has a basic function to produce virtual machine images without using any other disk imaging tools, so that investigating virtual servers are more efficient because the investigator only has to collect the virtual machine image and submit it to the court. However, the virtual machine image has no admissibility to be the legal evidence because of security, authenticity, procedural problems in collecting virtual machine images on virtual servers. In this research, we are going to provide requirements to satisfy security, authenticity and chain of custody conditions for the admissibility of the virtual machine image in server virtualization environment. Additionally, we suggest definite roles and driving plans for related organizations to produce virtual machine image as a admissible evidence.

Virtualization is a technology that uses a logical environment to overcome physical limitations in hardware. As a part of cost savings and green IT policies, there is a tendency in which recent businesses increase the adoption of such virtualization. In particular, regarding the virtualization in desktop, it is one of the most widely used technology at the present time. Because it is able to efficiently use various types of operating systems in a physical computer. A virtual machine image that is a key component of virtualization is difficult to investigate. because the structure of virtual machine image is different from hard disk image. Therefore, we need researches about appropriate investigation procedure and method based on technical understanding of a virtual machine. In this research, we suggest a procedure of investigation on a virtual machine image and a method for a corrupted image of the VMware Workstation that has the largest number of users.

가상 데스크탑 시스템은 단일 물리적 서버상에 가상화 기술을 사용하여 다수의 가상 머신을 실행하고, 이를 네트워크로 연결된 클라이언트에서 사용하는 기술이다. 가상 데스크탑에는 저장장치의 역할을 하는 가상 데스크탑 이미지가 연결되며, 본 이미지에는 운영체제 및 필요한 응용 프로그램이 설치되어 배포된다. 따라서, 새로운 가상 데스크탑을 생성할 때 가상 데스크탑 이미지를 함께 생성해야 하며, 이는 저장장치를 사용한 작업으로 시간이 많이 소요되는 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 풀을 사용한 빠른 가상 데스크탑 생성 방안을 제안한다. 이미지 풀은 일정 수의 가상 데스크탑 이미지를 포함하고 있으며, 이미지 준비기는 이미지 풀에 있는 이미지의 개수가 일정하게 유지되도록 골든 이미지에서 복사해오는 역할을 담당한다. 가상 데스크탑 생성시, 이미지 풀에서 필요한 이미지를 지연시간 없이 바로 가져옴으로써, 가상 데스크탑 생성에 소요되는 시간을 감소시킬 수 있다.

A navigation system for virtual environments using low-qualify HMD(head mounted display) must quantize images when the system presents true-color image with restricted number of colors. Such navigation system quantizes an image by using fixed palette. If the system represents an image by using a variable palette which is made considering a region around the viewpoint then user can perceive a virtual environments more vividly because human visual system is sensitive to the colors variation in the region around the viewpoint. In this paper we propose a color quantization algorithm that quantize a region around the viewpoint more finely than other regions at each variation of viewpoint for virtual environments navigation system and compose virtual environments navigation system using proposed algorithm. The system quantizes an image at each variation of viewpoint and shows a quantized image to user through HMD. We tested user preferences for our proposed system and the results show that users preferred our system.

사이버 공격이 다양해지면서 침입 탐지 시스템이 탐지 못하는 공격들이 늘어가고 그에 따라서 침입 감내 시스템의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 기존의 가상화 기반 침입 감내 시스템들은 같은 가상 이미지를 정화해서 사용하므로 항상 같은 취약점을 가지고 있게 된다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 가상화 기반 침입 감내 시스템의 보안상 문제점을 지적하고 해결하기 위한 아이디어를 제시한다. 그리고 각 가상 이미지에 부여된 점수를 기반으로 노출 우선 순위를 배정하는 정책을 제안한다.

Image which appears in fashion illustration on the late twentieth century is not the representative image as an equivalence to the real fashion styles but the virtual image which bears no relation to any reality. The purpose of this study is review the concept of virtuality and analyze in which way virtual image is expressed in fashion illustrations on the background of Jean Baudrillard's simulacre theory. In post-modem paintings the expression methods of image-virtualization were image mixing through photo-image appropriation, image overlapping, and the icons inserted unreasonably, the focus-out effect through scrubbing and the over-painting on the photograph. Image-virtualization in fashion illustration was expressed through image mixing and expression of image uncertainty. Image mixing was made by photo-image appropriation, image overlapping, connection of heterogeneous images and using interface image, and uncertain image was expressed through the expression of visual ambiguity and virtual movement.

최근 기업, 학교 등에서 가상 데스크톱 환경을 구축하는 사례들이 확대되면서 보다 효율적이고 안정적인 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 적합한 스토리지 시스템 도입이 요구되고 있다. 가상 데스크톱 시스템은 대부분 가상 데스크톱의 기본 이미지를 스토리지 시스템에 저장하고 다수의 가상 데스크톱 스냅샷들이 기본 이미지를 공유하도록 함으로써 시스템 운영과 보안 그리고 자원 활용을 높이도록 구성한다. 이러한 가상 데스크톱 이미지는 파일 시스템에서 파일 기반으로 저장되고 관리된다. 따라서 파일 시스템에서 파일 기반의 스냅샷 기능이 필요하다. 하지만 일반 파일 시스템에서는 스냅샷과 같은 기능이 제공되지 않기 때문에 이미지를 QCOW2 등과 같은 파일 포맷으로 만들어서 스냅샷 기능을 사용할 수 있다. 하지만 스냅샷 기능을 수행하기 위해서는 파일 데이터를 읽고 쓰는 동작이 함께 수반되어야 하기 때문에 가상 데스크톱 성능에 커다란 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 가상 데스크톱 환경이 확장함에 따라 파일 데이터 입출력으로 인한 오버헤드로 서비스를 제공하기 어렵게 된다. VDI-FS 시스템은 가상 데스크톱 환경을 지원하기 위한 파일 시스템으로 기본 이미지와 스냅샷들 간의 메타데이터 및 데이터 공유를 제공하며 보다 효율적인 스냅샷 기능을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 VDI-FS 시스템에 대한 소개와 스냅샷을 지원하는 방법에 대해 기술한다. 그리고 NFS에서 QCOW2 를 이용한 스냅샷을 사용했을 때와 VDI-FS 시스템에서 스냅샷을 사용했을 때와의 성능 비교를 통하여 VDI-FS 시스템의 스냅샷 기능이 우수한 성능을 보임을 제시한다.

The current PC-based desktop environment is being converted into server-based virtual desktop environment due to security, mobility, and low upgrade cost. In this paper, a desktop virtualization system is implemented using an open source-based cloud computing platform and hypervisor. The implemented system is applied to the virtualziation of computer in university. In order to reduce the image transfer time, we propose a solution using HDFS. In addition, an image management structure needed for desktop virtualization is designed and implemented, and applied to a real computer lab which accommodates 30 PCs. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in various aspects including implementation cost, power saving rate, reduction rate of license cost, and management cost. The experimental results showed that the proposed system considerably reduced the image transfer time for desktop service.
