The paper presents a compliance-based multi-dimensional trust evaluation system (CMTES).
CMTES supports evaluation of trustworthiness from the viewpoint of various stakeholders like Cloud Auditor, Peers and Cloud Broker, etc.
CMTES uses Improved TOPSIS technique to derive trustworthiness from compliance values.
Mathematical descriptions supporting CMTES have been provided.
The strategy has been simulated using synthetic as well as real cloud data.
