Abstract
Cloud computing, today, has gained wide acceptance by business enterprises across the globe. With growing popularity of cloud computing and a considerable amount of research already conducted on the fundamental issue of trust in the cloud, researchers are now focused on determining the linkage between ethics and trust. Ethical issues in cloud depend on the particular application and current circumstances. The paper proposes a novel technique of computing ethical trust placed on a service provider. The approach takes into consideration various factors which affect trust and ethics; as qualitative inputs through a customized interface. The accepted inputs are fuzzified and using a special set of designed rules, an ethical trust value is computed. The resultant output is subsequently de-fuzzified using the centroid method The calculated degree of ethical trust can help in ascertaining the significance of a service provider and is therefore of great utility in the area of cloud computing.
