In federated Clouds (or "clouds-of-clouds"), services will be picked not only from functionality, but also based on non-functional properties such as availability, performance, security and cost. The obvious downside is the lack of control; customers need to make sure that the composite services behave as expected and that the individual components from different providers can be trusted. </span></span><span lang=EN-US><br><br><span class=scope>To mitigate the security risks associated with federated Clouds, and to increase the trust in the individual providers, existing security mechanisms and their effectiveness should be formalized in contracts. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) is a common way to explicitly state the obligations of the provider and to serve as a binding agreement between the service customer and the service provider. The SLA will help ensure that the service keeps the right level of quality and that customers are credited accordingly in terms of contract violations. This session will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers related to Cloud computing SLAs, with special focus on security.
