Topology certification aims at offering an approach for integrity and privacyfor inter-connected systems, such as clouds, by certifying and provingproperties of infrastructure topologies without disclosing the confidentialinformation, such as the blueprint of the system. Cryptographically, this isenabled by a signature scheme and corresponding honest-verifier zeroknowledgeproofs of knowledge on graphs.In this document, we describe the architecture and design of a topologycertification tool along with a detailed systematic specification of theunderlying graph signature cryptographic library. The graph signatures andtopology certification could be thought of as an attribute-based credentialsystem on abstract graph data structures and are designed to be compatiblewith existing attribute-based credentials on user attributes.This document specifies core components of the Topology Certification (calledTOPOCERT) of the EU Horizon 2020 project PRISMACLOUD (GA no644962).
