ABSTRACT

Cloud services also need to have trust to carry out certain operations. Some cloud services that carry out critical functions such as command and control and patient monitoring have to be more trustworthy than say other cloud services that search for a company that sells shoes. In this chapter, we will discuss issues related to trust management and then discuss trust-based cloud services. We will also discuss trust for semantic cloud services. Note that such cloud services utilize semantic web technologies for tasks such as data, policy representation, and reasoning.
