Abstract:
Cloud computing has become a hot topic in research in the enterprise and consumer sector. It is clear to everyone that the opportunities and applications of cloud computing are versatile and that cloud computing is an emerging computing paradigm. However when decisions on adopting cloud computing-related solutions are made, trust and security are two of the most critical obstacles for the adoption and growth of cloud computing today. We think there are ways to largely eliminate concerns of potential cloud users by taking advantage of numerous existing technological possibilities, including trust- building measures, like standardization, cryptography, isolation and many more.
