Abstract(s)
Trusted platform modules (TPM) have become important safe-guards against variety
of software-based attacks. By providing a limited set of cryptographic services
through a well-defined interface, separated from the software itself, TPM can serve
as a root of trust and as a building block for higher-level security measures. This
article surveys the literature for applications of TPM in the cloud-computing environment,
with publication dates comprised between 2013 and 2018. It identifies
the current trends and objectives of this technology in the cloud, and the type of
threats that it mitigates. Toward the end, the main research gaps are pinpointed and
discussed. Since integrity measurement is one of the main usages of TPM, special
attention is paid to the assessment of run time phases and software layers it is
applied to.
