FPGA for Reliance on Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing models a convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. However, it makes the client data and computation vulnerable to attacks from potential threats as well as from untrusted system administrator. Many trials have been done to address the security concerns in cloud computing but not too much help came around, since using traditional CPU based system, we are unable to fabricate these computing nodes. In this paper, we explored the concept of effectively using FPGAs to engineer a lithe trusted computing platform by generating a smaller attack surface. Moreover FPGAs present a unique practical substitute to imitate the efficient performance within the cloud infrastructure.
