Abstract

The admiration and acceptance of cloud computing by masses has fuelled the concern to look into the critical issues faced by technology to make it a seamless and trusty solution of information systems, communication, and information security. Two challenges that are hampering the success of this technology are: security and trust. When security is assured, trust will forte and security lapse will definitely have a negative impact on trust. In this paper, we introduce a novel trust model that is based on security coverage through standards and certifications. To address these issues, author has kept a twofold aim for this paper: firstly logged all the factors that are considered imperative for IAAS security and verify how provider is assuring security related to these factors. Second is to present a “trust framework” that will calculate trustworthiness of cloud provider on the basis of security coverage of above-mentioned factors through standards and certification attained by cloud provider. The proposed solution can calculate two types of trust factors: overall trust factor (OTF) and service-specific trust factor (SSTF). This framework can assist cloud consumer in electing cloud provider for IAAS.
