An Efficient Approach to Trust Broker Module in Multiple Cloud Services

A trust aware service brokering scheme for efficient matching cloud services to satisfy various user requests for Multiple Cloud Collaborative Services. First, a trusted third party-based service brokering architecture is proposed for multiple cloud environments, in which the T-broker acts as a middleware for cloud trust management and service matching. Then, T-broker uses a hybrid and adaptive trust model to compute the overall trust degree of service resources, in which trust is defined as a fusion evaluation result from adaptively combining the direct monitored evidence with the social feedback of the service resources. Tbroker uses a lightweight feedback mechanism, which can effectively reduce networking risk and improve system efficiency. The experimental results show that, compared with the existing approaches, our T-broker yields very good results in many typical cases, and the proposed system is robust to deal with various numbers of dynamic service behavior from multiple cloud infrastructures.
