Cloud computing models allow access to as much or as little of services or media content as users want. Significant innovations in virtualization and distributed computing, as well as improved access to high-speed Internet have accelerated interest in cloud models. However, cloud computing’s value is only as good as the certainty of the systems on either side of the cloud.

microSignet addresses this issue directly by relying on the unique identification of the hardware components that process and store high value content, such as applications, sensitive documents, motion pictures, music, video games, and more. Because of the unique microSignet 'fingerprints', the services and media can be fully secured.
