Towards Trusted Cloud Computing Nuno Santos Krishna P. Gummadi Rodrigo Rodrigues MPI-SWS Abstract Cloud computing infrastructures enable companies to cut costs by outsourcing computations on-demand. However‚ clients of cloud computing services currently have no means of verifying the confidentiality and integrity of their data and computation. To address this problem we propose the design of a trusted cloud computing platform (TCCP). TCCP enables Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers

NFA with epsilon moves Definition and example of a NFA with epsilon transitions. Finite Automata with Epsilon Transitions We can extend an NFA by introducing a "feature" that allows us to make a transition on ‚ the empty string. All the transition lets us do is spontaneously make a transition‚ without receiving an input symbol. This is another mechanism that allows our NFA to be in multiple states at once. Whenever we take an edge‚ we must fork off a new "thread" for the
