Download or read book Cloud security mechanisms written by Neuhaus, Christian and published by Universitätsverlag Potsdam. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cloud computing has brought great benefits in cost and flexibility for provisioning services. The greatest challenge of cloud computing remains however the question of security. The current standard tools in access control mechanisms and cryptography can only partly solve the security challenges of cloud infrastructures. In the recent years of research in security and cryptography, novel mechanisms, protocols and algorithms have emerged that offer new ways to create secure services atop cloud infrastructures. This report provides introductions to a selection of security mechanisms that were part of the "Cloud Security Mechanisms" seminar in summer term 2013 at HPI.
