Incentivized Cloud Computing: A Principal Agent Solution to the Cloud Computing Dilemma

Abstract

We propose the paradigm of Incentivized Cloud Computing to examine ways of addressing the dilemma of a cloud consumer wanting to utilize cloud resources, but at the same time having to risk the security of its data and applications by trusting a cloud provider to properly manage them. In particular, we look at the theory of incentives, from the areas of economics, health care and public policy, as a means to strengthen the trust relationship between a cloud consumer and cloud provider.
