Abstract

The broker is foreseen to take an important role in the future Cloud ecosystem. A Cloud broker will simplify the relationships between Cloud providers and customers, by aggregating, integrating and customizing services in accordance to the customers’ needs. This paper demonstrates how security requirements can be a part of the Cloud brokering model. We present CloudSurfer, which is a prototype implementation of an independent Cloud broker that allows the customer to search for services that fulfill a set of security requirements. The application has been evaluated by representatives from the software industry and academia, and is freely available for further research.
