Abstract: Cloud computing offers several advantages over traditional computing models in industries, so applications which are developed for smart cities requires large amount of storage. Hence, smart cities applications are using cloud computing technologies to manage their applications with great flexibility and availability. To achieve a satisfactory level of trust, we propose a computational trust evaluation algorithm using fuzzy logic approach. In this paper, C-FTEM is designed to strengthen the security at data storage for smart cities and evaluated to prove its effectiveness.

Keywords: cloud computing; cloud service provider; CSP; cloud service user; CSU; cloud security; computational trust models; fuzzy logic; smart cities.
