A novel approach for evaluating trust of resources in cloud environment

Abstract

Trust is a significant facet in decision making of any distributed network. Cloud computing is a new computing model that provides computing resources to consumers. Due to outsourcing. there is always an uncertainty about the reliability and quality of the services. Though service providers assure of quality and secure services, these assurances do not satisfy the trustworthiness of the service providers for the consumers. In this paper, we have proposed a model that develops a strong trust relationship between consumer and resources of the service provider in cloud environment. This trust relation strengthens the security of the resources as well as the authentication of the consumer. The implementation proved that trust model developed is more efficient in terms of compute time and process time. © 2016 IEEE.
