Abstract

Cloud computing, the internet of things (IoT), big data are the driving force for the transformation of the whole economy and cloud computing and services on cloud are also the foundations and infrastructure of the other two technologies. As the development of these technologies has brought us great changes in our life, challenges come as well. For the similar cloud services in functions in the cloud environment, it is a big problem to find the probable services to meet users’ needs of security, reliability, easy of use and so on. To solve the problem mentioned above, a method of measuring the trustworthiness of SaaS services based on AHP is proposed, on the basis of the research on SaaS services and trusted computing. And also, a metric model for trustworthiness is built. In the end, a case study is put forward which proves the feasibility and usability of the method and model.
