Developing a mathematical model for assessing the impact of loss of trust due to data leakage in cloud

Cloud computing has revolutionized the manner in which business is operated nowadays. For, it has provided insight into cost cutting measures and has offered several other benefits which hitherto were undiscovered. Regardless of the paybacks, there is always an apprehension of the fact that availing the services of the cloud leads to insecurity? In other words, there are issues of trust and data leakage. This paper is thus an attempt to develop a mathematical model for assessing the impact of loss of trust due to data leakage in the cloud.
