Abstract:

The application of cloud computing is becoming more and more popular, but the security strength of cloud computing system is always difficult to be accurately evaluated. This paper proposes a trust model which can objectively evaluate the security strength of cloud computing system. The model uses a trust value to describe the overall security strength of the cloud computing system, and the trust value is generated by a list of parameters that cover the multidimensional securities. Trust model can help users to choose the appropriate cloud services effectively, and can help service providers to find their deficiencies. The experimental results show that the trust model has good completeness and accuracy for the evaluation of the security strength of cloud computing system.

Key words: cloud computing, security strength, trust value, trust model
