Reputation Management in Distributed Community Clouds

Abstract: Two or more community clouds are going to form as a group called network to provide services to satisfy the organizational needs. It works in the distributed environment. While communicating a cloud with other cloud in the group, it has to be sure that the other cloud is a good cloud; otherwise it won’t perform any transaction with that cloud. To know that in this paper we are going to present a protocol which provides the reputation of the cloud and a root certification for identity management. By omitting such bad transactions we can reduce number of malicious activities in the cloud computing.

Keywords: cloud computing, community clouds, reputation, distributed systems security, root certification.
