Abstract

The expeditious rise in cloud computing facilitates economical data storage, expertise software, and high-speed and scalable computing resources through infrastructures, platforms, and software (as a service). However, due to the openness and highly non-transparent nature of cloud computing, trust is the pressing issue that may hamper the adoption and growth of cloud services. Moreover, conventional trust management solutions are inadequate and cannot be directly adopted in cloud computing environments. Many existing techniques have addressed the above issue, and a comprehensive study of the literature helped in formulating the current research objectives. This research intends to develop an effective feedback-based trust evaluation scheme to ensure the quality of cloud computing services. The proposed scheme finds an accurate global trust value of the cloud services based on the aggregation of the genuine feedbacks trust, reputation trust, and Quality of Service (QoS) trust. Suitable performance analysis is done using Google cloud trace logs. The results show that the feedback-based trustworthy monitoring system is very much desirable and solely needed for reliable cloud computing service provisioning.
