Abstract

The objective of using threshold cryptography on cloud environment is to protect the keys, which are the most important elements in cryptographic systems. Threshold cryptography works by dividing the private key to a number of shares, according to the number of virtual machines, then distributing them each share to each virtual machine. In order to generate the key back, not all the shares are needed. Howerver, the problem is that there has been no research attemping to find a suitable threshold value for key reconstruction. Therefore, this paper presented a guildline designed and implemented that can assist to choose such value. The experiment was setup using CloudSim to simulate cloud environment and collecting time taken in key distribution and key reconstruction process to achieve the optimal threshold value.
