With a Token the Administrator will have direct control over what computers and users can log into the cloud. Tokenization is ideal since it is based on a look up instead of a formula like encryption. I do not name a specific product since as I said you should use one that works with your hoster or provider. A great artical is <a href="https://www.issa.org/Library/Journals/2010/December/Mattsson-Next%20Generation%20Tokenization.pdf">Tokenization

The CCSK is strongly supported by a broad coalition of experts and organizations from around the world. The collaboration with ENISA means that the world’s two leading organizations for vendor neutral cloud security research are providing the foundation for the industry’s first cloud security certification.
Look at the List of Corporate Members, Affiliate Members and Solution Providers associated with it and you will realize the significance immediately.
You can’t go wrong with the CSA cert. Are you wanting to specialize in security? The CISSP can do that…cloud or not the concepts are the same. It just depends on your objective(s). Just remember that certifications aren’t everything!
