ON SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Cloud computing is an evolving paradigm that is believed to play a key-role in future information processing. It is reasonable to expect a cloud computing environment equipped with security systems, but anything not covered by standard measures such as firewalls or encrypted channels is subject to mere trust in the cloud provider. The acceptance of cloud computing might be higher if less trust in the infrastructure is demanded, thanks to a more comprehensive employment of cryptography for security and privacy. Despite a vast amount of cryptographic primitives available today, their full power still remains to be exploited for numerous aspects in cloud computing. The goal of this paper is drawing attention to various primitives in cryptography that might become or actually are already considered to be useful in a cloud computing environment, but have not received as much attention as they deserve from experts in this area.
