MUMBAI, India, May 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202341080587 A) filed by Cyient Ltd., Bangalore, Karnataka, on Nov. 28, 2023, for 'system and method for data access by a virtual machine.'

Inventor(s) include Toledar, Nagesh Shenoy Bantwal; Pal, Shyam Sundar; and Modak, Ranadip Shaw.

The application for the patent was published on May 30, under issue no. 22/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and a method for data access by a Virtual Machine (VM). The method may comprise implementing a first VM (112-1) and second VM (112-2), by a hypervisor (110) in a computing environment (100). The first VM (112-1) may request a Hypervisor Security Framework (HSF) (114) for data access from the second VM (112-2). The HSF (114) may authenticate the first VM (112-1) and the second VM (112-2) by verifying a Message Authentication Code (MAC) associated with the VMs. Upon authentication, a communication channel (116) may be established between the first VM (112-1) and the second VM (112-2) by the hypervisor (110). Alternatively, a VM (112-1, 112-2) may directly request the HSF (114) for the data access from the memory (106). The HSF (114) allows the data access by matching a stored security key and a computed security key of the VM (112-1, 112-2)."
