Cloud shield: Backing honor based trust authority for cloud utility

Abstract

Trust management of cloud services is emerging as an important research issue in recent years, which possess significant challenges because of mostly dynamic, distributed, and translucent nature of cloud services. In this project we describe Cloud Armor, a platform for credibility based trust management of cloud services. This platform provides a crawler for automatic cloud services discovery, a modifiable and strong credibility model for measuring the credibility of feed backs, and a trust-based recommender to recommend the most trustworthy cloud services to users. This project presents the motivation, design, implementation of the system, and a demonstration of the Cloud Armor platform.
