Abstract

The concept of cloud computing has become increasingly present since the early 2000s, and is now a key aspect of the evolution of the Internet. Cloud computing is highly attractive to companies, as it eliminates the need for advanced allocation of resources; supply adapts to demand, according to the “pay-as-you-use” concept. However, although cloud computing offers significant possibilities in terms of service sharing and financial savings, it also involves a number of risks, notably in relation to the security of user data. After presenting the main concepts and actors involved in cloud computing, our aim in this chapter is to highlight the importance of digital identity management in the cloud, and to present the solutions currently available.
