Abstract

En 中文
Serverless computing is a promising paradigm that greatly simplifies cloud programming. With serverless computing, developers simply provide event-driven functions to a serverless platform, and these functions can be orchestrated as serverless workflows to accomplish complex tasks. Due to the lightweight limitation of functions, serverless workflows not only suffer from existing vulnerability-based threats but also face new security threats from the function compiling phase. In this paper, we present SMWE, a secure and makespan-oriented workflow execution framework in serverless computing. SMWE enables all life cycle protection for functions by adopting compiler shifting and running environment replacement in the serverless workflow. Furthermore, SMWE balances the tradeoff between security and makespan by carefully scheduling functions to running environments and selectively applying the secure techniques to functions. Extensive evaluations show that SMWE significantly increases the security of serverless workflows with small makespan cost.
