Summary:
On this thesis paper, we will make an attempt to study the security
mechanisms/constraints per subscriber on the cloud computing services as well
as the
virtualization of Evolved Packet Core (EPC) in cloud computing.
Just to make this presentation complete, this paper will be divided into four
parts. The
first part will include an introduction, in which basic subject-related
concepts will be
described, as well as admissions that were made.
The second part will include a general introduction to the concept of cloud
technology
and some fundamental principles for using cloud in a EPC environment, as those
were
established by ETSI.
On the third part, we'll attempt to design a cloud architecture, which will
describe the
course of a data package from one endpoint to another and in between them, the
cloud. An architecture, that will be able
to guarantee that whatever package enters the cloud encrypted, leaves the cloud
still
being encrypted
On the fourth and final part, we have concluded that by using the cryptographic
methods/mechanisms available along with the already known principles of Cloud
and NFV, one could guarantee a definite containment of malicious third-party
attacks towards personal data, while significantly reducing the cost for
installing them.
