Asset-centric Security-Aware Service Selection

Catering for the runtime security of users and their assets (e.g. files, accounts, etc.) in service oriented environments is a challenging problem. We motivate the need for an adaptive framework that selects online services according to the runtime security requirements and cost constraints of assets. We report on a market-inspired approach (i.e. reversed Posted-Offer auction) that satisfies multiple, heterogeneous requests for online services in environments with shared and scarce resources. The solution is tested on the specific area of Cloud storage services.
