Trust model for Measuring security strength of cloud computing service: Parameters for Measuring Security of cloud Computing Services

Selection of cloud serviceis always a question for the cloud users. Measure of security and trusting a cloud service is a challenge. A trust model can be used by cloud user to evaluate the cloud service security, and a cloud provider can use it to find out the shortcomings and improvement areas. Trust model acts as a benchmark to provide security in a cloud computing environment. Thus trust model can be used as a security strength evaluator for cloud services.
