Intercloud

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in Intercloud. Intercloud allows clouds to be interconnected, forming a cloud/network of clouds. Intercloud seeks to provide collaborative services or more powerful cloud computing services. We created a Intercloud Communications Protocol (ICCP) to allow clouds to communicate with each other using a common protocol, which is transparent to the underlying APIs of different clouds. It also includes security functions to ensure confidentiality and integrity.
