CCTM - Cloud Computing Trust Model

Abstract

Trust is an important factor to consider when selecting a cloud computing provider. While some security models have failed to provide extended trustworthy in this space, this paper aims to propose a new approach to entering and trusting cloud computing. The proposed approach consists of developing a cloud computing trust model (CCTM) through a cloud computing security solution called H-AES. CCTM is designed with security features in mind and contains elements that are needed to build trust in a cloud computing environment. The CCMT model was derived heuristically based on literature review and surveying IT professionals. H-AES is a hardware implementation of the advanced encryption standard (AES) for data in transmission and is able to encrypt, decrypt and transmit information in a real time communication mode.
