A Survey of Trust and Trust Management in Cloud Computing
Abstract
Over the years, the need for better computational capability, better storage facility, additional infrastructure, and the possibility of ease of access to various platforms and applications has driven cloud computing paradigm to where it is today. Cloud computing may mean different things to different people, and accordingly many definitions for cloud computing have been given. Jansen and Grance [1] try to concisely and formally define cloud computing in its entirety as given below: Cloud is a large pool of easily usable and accessible virtualized resources (such as hardware, development platforms, and/or services). These resources can be dynamically reconfigured to adjust to a variable load (scale), allowing also for an optimum resource utilization. This pool of resources is typically exploited by a pay-per-use model in which guarantees are offered by the infrastructure provider by means of customized service level of agreements (SLAs).
