There are number of cloud providers which lease VM Template but most
of the time the cloud consumers are concerned about the fact that the VM Template  in cloud which he/she is checking is authentic or not. To solve the issue raised by  many consumers about authentication of VM template in the cloud, we have analyzed different cryptographic techniques with their working, advantages and disadvantages over other techniques in this paper. There are number of variations of each and every technique which is discussed in detail in our paper.
