Purpose of this research is to evaluate cloud computing to put the foundation of an Architectural Framework for Trusted Cloud Computing (AFTCC) that would enable businesses to cut their costs by outsourcing their processes on-demand by verifying the confidentiality and integrity of their data and computation. On going research will clearly outline the enhanced execution environment that guarantees confidential execution of guest virtual machines. Further more, current research would allow users of the cloud to attest and determine whether or not the service provided is secure before their virtual machines are launched into the system knowing the identity of every personnel involved in this environment. The architecture would provide virtual view of the processes in the network interface enabling user level access to high-speed communication devices; like, bio-metric devices to enable user level forensic identification system. Also, it would provide architecture for implementation of a system that would do meaningful interpretation of raw data, and informing rightly to the right people at the right time. Current study mainlyfocuseson devising the Software Architecture for Trusted Cloud Computing. This research will outline the strengths and weaknesses identified in the literal work that has been done till now in Architectural Framework for Trusted Cloud Computing and its components and how they fit in. And will also identify the latest research and systems that are following it to some extent.
