Abstract

In this paper we consider the security issues related to the key management in cloud computing. We focus on the difficulty of managing cryptographic keys necessary to maintain for example the confidentiality of information stored in the clouds. In this framework, we present a threshold cryptosystem as well as three protocols, based on cooperation between cloud providers and a random number generator which is a trusted third party, that covers the issue of key management.
