SENSOR-CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE: USER AUTHENTICATION FOR SOCIAL ENHANCEMENT OF HOME NETWORKING
Abstract
Cloud Computing has powerful data storage and data processing capabilities as well as Wireless sensor network has capability of gathering large amount of data. For this unique feature CC-WSN(Cloud Computing-Wireless Sensor Network) integration received a lot of attention in both industries and academics, but here Authenticated trust and reputation calculation and management of cloud service provider (CSP) and sensor network provider (SNP) are two critical issues. To fill this gap, this paper proposes a novel TCE framework for CC-WSN integration. The proposed system has two functionalities: 1. Calculating and managing trust and reputation for CSP and SNP. 2. Helping Cloud Service User (CSU) to choose desirable CSP and assisting CSP in selecting suitable SNP. Detailed analysis and evaluation are shown.
