In cloud computing, measurable services such as packet loss and memory are quantized into different levels to provide different level of services to users. Initially, there will be a service level agreement (SLA) between users and service providers (SPs) and/or SPs and infrastructure providers (IPs). However, the most crucial service required by the users and SPs in cloud computing is security and privacy. Security parameters can be used to prevent attacks and to protect data and systems. In literature, there is no comprehensive solution which quantify all the security parameters associated with the cloud computing paradigm. In this paper, for the first time, we attempt to generalize and quantify the security parameters.
