A novel service oriented approach of trustworthiness attestation in cloud computing

Trustworthiness attestation in cloud computing is always an important research area. In cloud computing, the CSPs (Cloud Service Provider) who own the properties of cloud computing platform and the cloud computer clients who use cloud computing platform to store, process and compute their data are two important entities. But in this mode where the ownership and the right of use of cloud computing platform are separated, an opponent model between CSPs and clients are established so that the CSPs should provide the clients explicit evidence to prove that the demands of clients are fulfilled. In this paper, we proposed a novel service oriented approach to provide such trustworthiness attestation in cloud computing. Technologies such as trusted computing and cryptography are used to ensure three important properties with this approach such as assurance of confidentiality and integrity, controllability and low complexity.
