Abstract:
The cloud computing offers dynamically scalable
resources provided as a service over the Internet. It promises the
drop in capital expenditure. But practically speaking if this is to
become reality there are still some challenges which is to be still
addressed. Amongst, the main issues are related to security and
trust, since the user's data has to be released to the Cloud and thus
leaves the secured area of the data owner. The users must trust the
providers. There must be a strong trust relationship exist between
the service providers and the users. This paper provides a model
based on reputation which allows only reliable providers to
provide the computing power and the resources which in turn can
provide a reliable infrastructure for cloud computing.
