TRESOR – Towards the Realization of a Trusted Cloud Ecosystem

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The TRESOR (Trusted Ecosystem for Standardized and Open cloud-based Resources http://www.cloud-tresor.de/) project enables cloud computing solutions for the German health sector. This sector deals with sensitive medical information and is in general not suitable for current cloud-based solutions, which are lacking appropriate privacy and security features. The project evaluates and proposes new architectural components to address these shortcomings. These will be combined into a secure and trustworthy ecosystem that will enable the health industry and other sectors to take advantage of cloud computing. The architecture consists of components, such as a marketplace, a broker, a proxy and a PaaS-platform. TRESOR addresses privacy and data protection issues and aims at providing a standardized solution with reduced lock-in effects that can also be used in other domains. In this paper the specific tasks and the architecture of these components are presented, important challenges of the TRESOR project are highlighted and preliminary results, such as a secure transfer protocol, and policy integration are shown.
