Abstract :
In this paper, we consider the problem of trust in cloud monitoring systems. We design and develop a novel scheme for trust certification using property based attestation (PBA). The PBA is based on a trusted platform module (TPM) installed on the monitoring system called Cloud Pass. This certification scheme can be applied to any other monitoring system. In our proposal, two security properties are studied and tested, the integrity of the monitoring system and the identity of the platform. To test the proposed scheme, a prototype for the attested system.
