Proposta de dissertação do MEI Título: Trusted Administration for Cloud-Enabled Software Platforms Proponente(s): Henrique Domingos Créditos: 42 ECTS Área científica: Computer Systems and Networks Início preferencial: Qualquer semestre URL: Já estão em curso trabalhos preliminares executados pelo alunos: Breve descrição: To secure cloud infrastructures from cloud administration threats and operational abuses, some systems have been proposed based on trusted computing technology. Despite their effectiveness, existent proposals are manly focused on Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), in which the software stack to be maintained is considerably simpler comparing with PaaS or SaaS solutions. More recently, there are more interesting techniques for securing the management of PaaS infrastructures, but they always assume that the cloud administrator is fully trusted. Tin this thesis we will investigate ho two propose a solution that leverages trusted computing hardware (base on TPM2 and HW enabled Trusted Execution Environments), present on new commodity hardware, combined with role and attribute based access control mechanisms, segregation of delimited administrative domains and auditing tools to support administrators actions to provide a secure software architecture solution for Cloud PaaS ecosystems.
