Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The application describes an attestation system ( 705, 707, 710 ) in a cloud computing environment. The authorization system is configured to allow a plurality of users ( 701 a - d ) and applications ( 702, 706, 708, 709 ) of the cloud computing environment to issue attestations regarding attributes of other users and applications. The authorization system is also configured to control access to said attestations and to allow a plurality of users and applications of the cloud computing environment to query the authorization system to determine whether a specified user or application has a specified attribute. Methods of controlling access to resources in a cloud computing environment and also of providing secure attestations are also described.
