Model for cloud computing security assessment based on AHP and FCE

Abstract

As a convenient, on-demand access service model for network based, configurable shared calculation resource pool, cloud computing has many advantages. At the same time, there are many challenges in the development and application of cloud computing, especially in cloud security. For quantification demand of cloud security services, drawing on cloud computing risk control security assess framework related to the international organizations, based on China's classification protection assessment requirements, the cloud computing security evaluation index system is built using of Delphi method, and the weight of each index entry is calculated using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). The cloud security assessment model has been validated through examples, and the results show that the proposed model can make quantitative assessment on secure cloud platform effectively, with much more efficiency.
