Abstract:
Security and privacy concerns are still major issues during the adoption of cloud services. Software service developers face new challenges to solve this problem. To establish the software-as-a-service and to address privacy and security concerns of customers, providers can use the suggested hybrid cloud architecture to outsource the data persistence layer. By this approach, neither customer nor provider have to trust an arbitrary public cloud service provider. The approach offers a tradeoff between higher privacy and security for less flexibility and scalability in consideration of costs and therefore its application in practice. Test results of the implemented prototype demonstrate the practical suitability, but show the limitations as well. Besides focusing on functional requirements like privacy and scalability, also non-functional demands such as independency from special software or hardware needs and the minimal migration effort, have been considered.
