Trust is a critical factor in cloud computing; in present practice it depends largely on perception of reputation, and self\r\nassessment by providers of cloud services. We begin this paper with a survey of existing mechanisms for establishing\r\ntrust, and comment on their limitations. We then address those limitations by proposing more rigorous mechanisms\r\nbased on evidence, attribute certification, and validation, and conclude by suggesting a framework for integrating\r\nvarious trust mechanisms together to reveal chains of trust in the cloud.
