Abstract Cloud computing is a model to enable the convenient access to the network request for sharing the groups of configurable calculating resources. In this environment, confidences are insufficient for the customers to identify the trustworthy cloud service providers. Therefore, in this system, an important challenge is assessing the trustworthiness to enable the users for choosing the trustworthy resources in the cloud infrastructure. However, in the cloud environments, despite the significance of the trust mechanisms and methods, the comprehensive and systematic research and study about the background of the trust evaluation methods between the cloud providers is rare. Hence, in this paper, we analyzed the trust evaluation state of the art mechanisms which are used in the cloud environment so far. Also, we analyzed and compared them in terms of integrity, security, reliability, dependability, safety, dynamicity, confidentiality, scalability, and giving a suggestion for some future research. Also, this article displays a systematic literature review (SLR) on the trust evaluation mechanisms in the cloud environments up to the end of March 2017. We identified 224 articles, which are reduced to 28 primary ones through our article selection process. By presenting the state-of-the-art information and the challenges issues, this survey will directly support academics, researchers, and professionals in their understanding of changes in the trust evaluation mechanisms in the cloud environments.

云计算和信任评估：对最先进机制的系统文献综述

摘要 云计算是一种能够方便地访问网络请求以共享一组可配置的计算资源的模型。在这种环境下，客户识别值得信赖的云服务提供商的信心不足。因此，在这个系统中，一个重要的挑战是评估可信度，使用户能够在云基础设施中选择可信赖的资源。然而，在云环境中，尽管信任机制和方法具有重要意义，但对云提供商之间信任评估方法的背景进行全面系统的研究和研究却很少见。因此，在本文中，我们分析了迄今为止在云环境中使用的最先进机制的信任评估状态。还，我们从完整性、安全性、可靠性、可靠性、安全性、动态性、机密性、可扩展性等方面对它们进行了分析和比较，并为未来的一些研究提出了建议。此外，本文还展示了截至 2017 年 3 月底的云环境信任评估机制的系统文献综述 (SLR)。我们确定了 224 篇文章，通过我们的文章选择过程将其减少到 28 篇主要文章。通过展示最先进的信息和挑战问题，这项调查将直接支持学者、研究人员和专业人士了解云环境中信任评估机制的变化。本文展示了截至 2017 年 3 月底的云环境信任评估机制的系统文献综述 (SLR)。我们确定了 224 篇文章，通过我们的文章选择过程将其减少到 28 篇主要文章。通过展示最先进的信息和挑战问题，这项调查将直接支持学者、研究人员和专业人士了解云环境中信任评估机制的变化。本文展示了截至 2017 年 3 月底的云环境信任评估机制的系统文献综述 (SLR)。我们确定了 224 篇文章，通过我们的文章选择过程将其减少到 28 篇主要文章。通过展示最先进的信息和挑战问题，这项调查将直接支持学者、研究人员和专业人士了解云环境中信任评估机制的变化。
