Abstract

A method for protecting memory pages of a computing device using a hypervisor includes detecting, by a hypervisor, a token associated with the trusted program, in response to receiving a hypercall from a trusted program. The token associated with the trusted program is checked against a saved token of the hypervisor to determine trustworthiness of the trusted program. The hypervisor creates a memory page containing a safe hypercall address of the hypervisor. Addresses of the memory page are transmitted from the hypervisor to the trusted program. The hypervisor allows execution of the hypercall by the trusted program accessing the safe hypercall address found at the addresses of the memory page.
