ePrint Reportmanagement tasks for cloud consumers. However, existing brokerage schemes on cloud service selection typically assume that
brokers are completely trusted, and do not provide any guarantee over the correctness of the service recommendations. It is then
possible for a compromised or dishonest broker to easily take advantage of the limited capabilities of the clients and provide incorrect
or incomplete responses. To address this problem, we propose an innovative Cloud Service Selection Verification (CSSV) scheme and
index structures (MMBcloud-tree) to enable cloud clients to detect misbehavior of the cloud brokers during the service selection
process. We demonstrate correctness and efficiency of our approaches both theoretically and empirically.
