Since cloud computing share distributed resources via the network in the open environment, thus it makes security problems important for us to develop the cloud computing application. In this paper, we pay attention to the security requirements in cloud computing environment. We proposed a method to build a trusted computing environment for cloud computing system by integrating the trusted computing platform into cloud computing system. We propose a model system in which cloud computing system is combined with trusted computing platform with trusted platform module.
In this model, some important security services, including authentication, confidentiality and integrity, are provided in cloud computing system.
Keywords-cloud computing; trusted computing platform; trusted computing; trusted service
I. INTRODUCTION
Since distributed systems and network computing were used wildly, security has become an urgent problem and will be more important in the future. In order to improve the work efficiency, the different services are distributed in different servers that are distributed in different places. In contrast to the fast developing of distributed computing technologies, people have remained insufficient in the field of information security and safety. In recently, a new trend attracts people’s attention. Users from multiple environment hope use the distributed computing more efficient, just like using the electric power. Then, cloud computing has become a new star for this demand. cloud computing is
