Unikernel for Cloud Services: How Single-Responsibility can Reduce Complexity
Unikernels allow application deployment through custom-built minimal virtual machines. The authors investigate how unikernels and their inherent minimalism benefit system security. The analysis starts with common security vulnerability classes and their possible remediation. A platonic unikernel framework is used...
Details Exchanging Database Writes with Modern Cryptography
Modern cryptography provides for new ways of solving old problems. This paper details how Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Codes (HMACs) or Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) can be employed as an alternative to a traditional server-side temporal session store....

D2.5 Risk and Threat Analysis with Security Requirements
Absolute security does not exist and, in any system, security definition has first to start with a threat analysis (attacker profiling) and a definition of the information to protect (and against what), second, to define security policies (how to...

D2.1 Legal, Social and HCI Requirements
This Deliverable presents legal, social, and HCI (Human Computer Interaction) requirements for the PRISMACLOUD project, which were elicited within the first nine months of the project for clarifying the legal status of novel signature schemes to be used in...
