Upcoming talk: "Trust, confidentiality, and hardening: the virtio lessons" at LPC 2023

Update: The video is now available here and the slides are available here (PDF).

I will be at Linux Plumbers Conference 2023 to present "Trust, confidentiality, and hardening: the virtio lessons" at 2:30pm on Wednesday, November 15th. Michael Tsirkin and I prepared this talk about the evolution of the trust model of the Linux VIRTIO drivers. It explores how the drivers have been hardened in response to new use cases for VIRTIO, including Linux VDUSE, hardware VIRTIO devices, and Confidential Computing.

Details are available on the LPC schedule. Come watch to talk to find out how drivers work when you can't trust the hypervisor!
