STRAP-security: virtualization

With virtualization software like VirtualBox or Vmware one can run a virtual PC with Linux or Windows. Programs that run inside the virtual Guest operation system cannot directly access files of the host system and hence cannot modify files or access private data. The Knoppix life CD is a canditate for a guest operation system for VirtualBox because it contains all standard software needed for Strap on a single life CD. The main disadvantage is, that Drag-and-Drop between the Desktop and programs like STRAP in the Virtual computer will not work.
