Abstract
Cloud services have grown very quickly over the past couple of years, giving consumers and companies the chance to put services, resources and infrastructures in the hands of a provider. There are big security concerns when using cloud services. With the emergence of cloud computing, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology has undergone a renaissance, enabling computer to computer communications. This study describes use of PKI in cloud computing and provides insights into some of the challenges which cloud-based PKI systems face.
Highlights
Cloud computing is rapidly emerging as a new paradigm for delivering computing as a utility
We explore in more detail what are the basic fears from cloud customers to adopt the cloud computing
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) consists of programs, data formats, procedures, communication protocols, security policies and public key cryptographic mechanisms working in a comprehensive manner to enable a wide range of dispersed people to communicate in a secure and predictable fashion
Summary
Cloud computing is rapidly emerging as a new paradigm for delivering computing as a utility. It allows leasing of IT capabilities whether they are infrastructure, platform, or software applications as services on subscription oriented services in a pay-as-you-go model. This paper will discuss why a cloud customer will trust cloud by using PKI. This paper is organized : In Section II, we give a background of the technologies to be used.
