based on important factors

Introduction

• Cloud computing is becoming an evolution as it provides us resources

at a high level of efficiency as it uses a pay-as-you-go business model
• Cloud or Fog computing is a way by which we get services like
storage, processing etc.
• Based on specific characteristics of cloud computing, its different
service and deployment models and frameworks are also designed
• All of these models have their distinct characteristics but share few
similarities.
Cont..

• Before this communication it is important ensure that the

service provider is trustworthy
• Choosing the right service model depends on a particular factor,
including a trade-off between cost, complexity, and security
• While calculating the trustworthiness of a server/client
we consider few factors
• Based on these factor we will calculate the trust value of server
• So first of all, we will find those factors
Literature Review

• In literature review more than thirty papers are studied

and important factors are extracted based on their
discussion
• 59 factors are collected based on which we adopt cloud as
trustworthy model

Proposed Methodology

• We will take those factors which gives high frequency and

effecting the trust value while adopting cloud computing
• Let suppose we set a value of 13 as we got 22 highest value in
our results
• We will calculate these factors each time when server and client
will communicate
• A survey will be conducted each time and trust value will be
updated
Proposed Methodology

• To ensure that if client has given fair response or not we will see the
relativity of responses. 

• If given responses vary in ratio of 90:10 we will ignore 10% of irrelevant

values.

• And again trust value will be calculated using average formula

Limitations

• May have some limitations but unique in its nature

• Although factors are universal to some extant but Survey
overhead
