Abstract
Publish/subscribe (pub/sub) is a widely deployed paradigm for information dissemination in a variety of distributed applications such as financial platforms, e-health frameworks and the Internet-of-Things. In essence, the pub/sub model considers one or more publishers generating feeds of information and a set of subscribers, the clients of the system. A pub/sub service is in charge of delivering the published information to interested clients. With the advent of cloud computing, we observe a growing tendency to externalize applications using pub/sub services to public clouds. This trend, despite its advantages, opens up multiple important data privacy and trust issues. Although multiple solutions for data protection have been proposed by the academic community, there is no unified view or framework describing how to deploy secure pub/sub systems on public clouds. To remediate this, we advocate towards a trust model which we believe can serve as basis for such deployments.
