C. MInf Middleware System based on Cloud Computing Platform
The internet-of-MInfS assigns cloud platform with its database systems, all the information of the system are submitted and stored to cloud platform without any data stored in internet-of-MInfS. But not all users can access the database. As usual, the cloud platform has private cloud platform and public cloud platform, while users are divided into external users and internal users for they have different access permissions. Thus cloud platform will create a special survey database which saves and tests the customers’ access authorities. An external user (i.e. Port Authorities, individuals, etc) needs to get through an audit by the database if he wants to enquire relevant information. In other words, external user will register an account and get the public cloud platform access permission, and then he can get access the database saved in public cloud platform while internal user (members belonging to particular vessel, vessel owners etc.) can access the database system without identity verification for both cloud platforms.
