ABSTRACT

Induced by including the powerful data storage space and data processing skills of cloud computing (CC) and along with ubiquitous data acquiring together capacity of wireless sensor systems (WSNs), CC-WSN integration received a whole lot of attention from both in statute and industry. Nevertheless authentication as well as trust and reputation calculation and management of cloud companies (CSPs) and sensor network providers (SNPs) are two very critical and scarcely explored issues for this kind of new paradigm. To fill up the gap, this paper proposes a novel verified trust and reputation computation and management (ATRCM) program for CC-WSN integration. Looking at the authenticity of CSP and SNP, the characteristic requirement of cloud services user (CSU) and CSP, the cost, trust, and trustworthiness of the services of CSP and SNP, the proposed ATRCM program achieves the subsequent three capabilities: 1) authenticating CSP and SNP in order to avoid malicious impersonation attacks; 2) calculating and managing trust and status service of CSP and SNP; and 3) helping CSU choose desired CSP and assisting CSP in selecting appropriate SNP. Detailed analysis and style as well as further more functionality analysis results happen to be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of ATRCM implemented with system security evaluation.
