Abstract

The creation of Inter-Organizational Workflows implies the coalition of partners' efforts and resources in order to achieve a set of common objectives and goals. However, this openness may cause a huge damage to the participating entities due to security breaches. Thus the key for successful collaboration is to select the appropriate collaborators based on specific security criteria for each outsourced task. At this purpose, we identify the most important security criteria for partner selection such as, trust and reputation level, policy similarity level, and security level. Then we propose a security based partner selection approach that allows us to rank collaborators in order to assign each task to the most suitable partner. An example application will be presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
