The AIDA project consortium has published a paper at the 2021 ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing (ACM SAC 2021), which took place online, between March 22 and 26.

The article is entitled “Analysis of VM Migration Scheduling as Moving Target Defense against insider attacks”; the paper aims to study the security benefit of shuffling the attacker position in the environment through Moving Target Defense based on Virtual Machine migration (VM-MTD). The results show a significant reduction in the attack success probability when applying VM-MTD. It also presents a comparison between different scenarios of VM-MTD.

The authors of this paper are Matheus Torquato, Paulo Maciel, and Marco Vieira, from the University of Coimbra.
