Opinion Model Based Security Reputation Enabling Cloud Broker Architecture

  • Conference paper
Cloud Computing (CloudComp 2012)

Abstract

Security and trust in service providers is a major concern in the use of cloud services and the associated process of selecting a cloud service provider that meets the expectations and needs of one’s security requirements is not easy. As a solution, we propose a broker architecture model that enables us to build a security reputation framework for cloud service providers, capturing comprehensive evidence of security information to build its trust and security reputation.
