Research and Design of Reconfigurable Security Resource Pool Framework

In the era of cloud computing and big data, the demand for centralized security services is highlighted. In this paper we survey the existing security solutions which are proposed to provide the information security level protection services in the cloud, and present a reconfigurable security resource pool framework to provide security services to the tenants on demand. In the framework, Field Programmable Gate Arrays that support dynamic and partial reconfiguration capabilities are used as the computing entity. Finally, a prototype system is designed on the OpenStack platform. The analysis shows that the framework can not only ensure the security and reliability of the system, but also improve the utilization of FPGA resources.
