Abstract

Cloud computing provides many kinds of application services for cloud users, but security problems have caused great impact on Software as a Service (SaaS). As a commercial model, SaaS is related among different participants who could be malicious or dishonest. This paper presents a Software Service Signature (S3) to deal with several security issues in SaaS and keep the interests and rights of all participants in safety. Our design is based on ID-based proxy signatures from pairings. The analysis shows that the proposed scheme can effectively strengthen the security through authentication in cloud computing.
