Abstract

Role of cloud computing in the execution of e-governance services has led to an ever-growing need for secure and trustworthy cloud services. Cloud Computing brings IT services in form of utilities that can be consumed as per demand. Cloud computing uses the internet to deliver differential services through geographically apart data centers. These data centers offer pooled infrastructure resources that can be utilized on pay as per use basis. All these properties of the cloud make it a perfect solution for E-Governance. The only concern that is making current users vigilant and future users dubious about this service is “Security”. Due to augmented security lapse incidences in recent years, consumers are apprehensive about adopting it and continuously losing trust in this computing paradigm. The prime concern of this research to find ways to overcome these challenges. The key intent of this research is to find a framework that can compute the trustworthiness of cloud provider based on security coverage. The framework evaluates trust value for a provider, on the basis of standards & certification attainment related to security components required for the services offered by him.
