    Abstract

    This paper investigates the problem of providing trusted monitoring information on a cloud environment to the cloud customers. The general trust between customer and provider is taken as a starting point. The paper discusses possible methods to strengthen this trust. It focuses on establishing a chain of trust inside the provider infrastructure to supply monitoring data for the customer. The goal is to enable delivery of state and event information to parties outside the cloud infrastructure. The current technologies and research are reviewed for the solution and the usage scenario is presented. Based on such technology, higher assurance of the cloud can be presented to the customer. This allows customers with high security requirements and responsibilities to have more confidence in accepting the cloud as their platform of choice.
