A Semi – Automatic and Trustworthy Scheme for Continuous Cloud Service Certification

Abstract

Traditional software-based assurance solutions rely on static verification techniques and assume continuous availability of trusted third parties. These solutions become ineffective with the advent of cloud computing as services / applications are flexible, dynamic, and change at high rates at runtime. A semi-automatic and trustworthy scheme for continuous cloud service certification Although several assurance approaches have been defined, cloud requires a step-change of moving current assurance techniques to fully embrace the peculiarities of the cloud.

 

In this A Semi – Automatic and Trustworthy Scheme for Continuous Cloud Service Certification paper, we provide a rigorous and adaptive assurance technique based on certification, towards the definition of a transparent and trusted cloud ecosystem. It aims to increase the confidence of cloud customers that every piece of the cloud (from its infrastructure to hosted applications) behaves as expected and according to their requirements.

Conclusion

We provided a rigorous and adaptive certification-based assurance technique that fully addresses cloud requirements. Above all, our certification scheme provides a solution to certify life cycle management including an automatic and incremental approach to certificate adaptation addressing the multi-layer and dynamic nature of the cloud. Our scheme departs from the assumption that an online certification authority is always available during the certification process and is based on a concrete trust model for the cloud.
