Trusted Cloud Computing

Abstract

This chapter introduces various ideas to deal with insider attacks using the research directions, which are discussed in earlier chapters such as remote attestation, sealed storage, and integrity measurement. Trusted computing dependent on hardware root of trust has been produced by industry to secure computing frameworks and billions of end points. Remote attestation provides a facility to attestation the required platforms using platform configuration registers (PCR), and sealed storage is used to encrypt the consumer sensitive data using cryptographic operations. Integrity measurements are used to measure the given computing components in respective register. Here, the authors concentrated on a trusted computing paradigm to enable cloud service providers to solve the potential insider attacks at cloud premises.
