Open Access padlockePrints

The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Topology certification aims at offering an approach for integrity and privacyfor inter-connected systems, such as clouds, by certifying and provingproperties of infrastructure topologies without disclosing the confidentialinformation, such as the blueprint of the system. Cryptographically, this isenabled by a signature scheme and corresponding honest-verifier zeroknowledgeproofs of knowledge on graphs.In this document, we describe the architecture and design of a topologycertification tool along with a detailed systematic specification of theunderlying graph signature cryptographic library. The graph signatures andtopology certification could be thought of as an attribute-based credentialsystem on abstract graph data structures and are designed to be compatiblewith existing attribute-based credentials on user attributes.This document specifies core components of the Topology Certification (calledTOPOCERT) of the EU Horizon 2020 project PRISMACLOUD (GA no644962).
