Cryptography for Security and Privacy in Cloud ComputingHardcover, 30 November 2013

As is common practice in research, many new cryptographic techniques have been developed to tackle either a theoretical question or foreseeing a soon to become reality application. Cloud computing is one of these new areas, where cryptography is expected to unveil its power by bringing striking new features to the cloud. This resource offers an overview of the possibilities of crytography for protecting data and identity information, much beyond well-known cryptographic primitives such as encryption or digital signatures.
