It has, therefore, generated the need for customers to decide the IoT cloud platform to suit their vivid and volatile demands in terms of attributes like security and privacy of data, performance efficiency, cost optimization, and other individualistic properties as per unique user. In spite of the existence of many software solutions for this decision\u2010making problem, they have been proved to be inadequate considering the distinct attributes unique to individual user. This paper proposes a framework to represent the selection of IoT cloud platform as a MCDM problem, thereby providing a solution of optimal efficacy with a particular focus in user\u2010specific priorities to create a unique solution for volatile user demands and agile market trends and needs using optimized distance\u2010based approach (DBA) aided by Fuzzy Set Theory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/6697467","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]],"date-time":"2021-05-18T18:05:05Z","timestamp":1621361105000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["A Secure IoT\u2010Based Cloud Platform Selection Using Entropy Distance Approach and Fuzzy Set Theory"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4832-4771","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alakananda","family":"Chakraborty","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3655-4764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muskan","family":"Jindal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2029-5067","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad R.","family":"Khosravi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9338-0932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prabhishek","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3165-3293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Achyut","family":"Shankar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4435-675X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manoj","family":"Diwakar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"SikarwarR.
