A REVIEW PAPER ON CRYPTOGRAPHIC APPROACH FOR LICENSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN CLOUD COMPUTING

摘要

Computational world is become very large and complex. Cloud computing has emerged as a popular computing model to support on demand services. It has inherited the legacy technology and adding new ideas. The goal of cloud computing is to make effective utilization of distributed resources, and put them together in order to achieve higher throughput and be able to perform high scale computation problem. So, cloud computing can be defined as a large-scale distributed computing paradigm that is driven by economies of scale, in which, a pool of abstracted, virtualized, dynamically-scalable, managed computing power, storage, platforms, and services are delivered on demand to external customers over the Internet. In cloud computing, the license not only deals with software services, but also it should be able to provide an agreement for infrastructure and platform services in an effective way. A License Management System is definitely an important component of any commercials cloud system. The major challenge in License Management System is provide secure communication of licensees between different parties in cloud environment. Thus traditional license management pattern is not able to specify all necessary specification of agreement of cloud services. After studying various stages of work carried out, we are providing a generalize model of license pattern, which meet all requirement for licensing a service in cloud computing environment.
