Abstract:
As the result of several technological developments, cloud computing provides numerous advantages to the service providers, developers, organizations, and users, via its scalability, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, availability, and so on. However, it also introduces new challenges and concerns with technology, policy, trust, and other related issues. In this particular paper, we address the trust issues for content-sharing services in a largescale cloud-computing environment. The contents can be either executable or non-executable.
Considering that executable contents that include malicious codes may cause security problems in the computing environment, we focus on the executable contents in this paper. First, we identify and describe the challenges towards trusted content-sharing services in the cloud-computing environment. We then propose novel approaches that can overcome the challenges we identify. Finally, we summarize our implementation that proves the feasibility of the proposed work.
