The chapter presents current security concerns in the Cloud Computing Environment. The cloud concept and operation raise many concerns for cloud users since they have no control of the arrangements made to protect the services and resources offered. Additionally, it is obvious that many of the cloud service providers will be subject to significant security attacks. Some traditional security attacks such as the Denial of Service attacks (DoS) and distributed DDoS attacks are well known, and there are several proposed solutions to mitigate their impact. However, in the cloud environment, DDoS becomes more severe and can be coupled with Economical Denial of Sustainability (EDoS) attacks. The chapter presents a general overview of cloud security, the types of vulnerabilities, and potential attacks. The chapter further presents a more detailed analysis of DDoS attacks' launch mechanisms and well-known DDoS defence mechanisms. Finally, the chapter presents a DDoS-Mitigation system and potential future research directions.

In advent of cloud environment, cloud operator is not a completely trusted to put on private information, because of lack of consumer to cloud control. To assurance privacy, documents sharer deploy their encipher documents. Encipher documents dispense to among consumers using CP-ABE scheme. But it is not completely safe in opposition to different assaults. The prior knowledge cannot offer any verification ability to cloud operator whether the user can decipher or not. Various invaders may obtain lot of document by initiate EDoS assaults. The consumer of cloud abides cost. To handle above issues, this article suggests a problem solving plan to safe encipher cloud repository from EDoS assaults and maintain supply utilization. It utilizes CP-ABE tactics in a black-box method furthermore accomplish impulsive entryway contract epithetical CP-ABE. We tend to present 2 mechanisms for various styles, observed via achievement and shield research.


Economic Denial of Sustainability (EDoS) is a latest threat in the cloud environment in which EDoS attackers continually request huge number of resources that includes virtual machines, virtual security devices, virtual networking devices, databases and so on to slowly exploit illegal traffic to trigger cloud-based scaling capabilities. As a result, the targeted cloud ends with a consumer bill that could lead to bankruptcy. This paper proposes an intelligent reactive approach that utilizes Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (GANN) for classification of cloud server consumer to minimize the effect of EDoS attacks and will be beneficial to small and medium size organizations. EDoS attack encounters the illegal traffic so the work is progressed into two phases: Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used to determine affected path and to detect suspected service provider out of the detected affected route which further consist of training and testing phase. The properties of every server are optimized by using an appropriate fitness function of Genetic Algorithm (GA) based on energy consumption of server. ANN considered these properties to train the system to distinguish between the genuine overwhelmed server and EDoS attack affected server. The experimental results show that the proposed Genetic and Artificial Neural Network (GANN) algorithm performs better compared to existing Fuzzy Entropy and Lion Neural Learner (FLNL) technique with values of precision, recall and f-measure are increased by 3.37%, 10.26% and 6.93% respectively.

Load balancing of non-preemptive independent tasks on virtual machines (VMs) is an important aspect of task scheduling in clouds. Whenever certain VMs are overloaded and remaining VMs are under loaded with tasks for processing, the load has to be balanced to achieve optimal machine utilization. In this paper, we propose an algorithm named honey bee behavior inspired load balancing, which aims to achieve well balanced load across virtual machines for maximizing the throughput. The proposed algorithm also balances the priorities of tasks on the machines in such a way that the amount of waiting time of the tasks in the queue is minimal. We have compared the proposed algorithm with existing load balancing and scheduling algorithms. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective when compared with existing algorithms. Our approach illustrates that there is a significant improvement in average execution time and reduction in waiting time of tasks on queue using workflowsim simulator in JAVA.

Load balancing makes cloud computing greater knowledgeable and could increase client pleasure. At reward cloud computing is among the all most systems which offer garage of expertise in very lowers charge and available all the time over the net. However, it has extra vital hassle like security, load administration and fault tolerance. Load balancing inside the cloud computing surroundings has a large impact at the presentation. The set of regulations relates the sport idea to the load balancing manner to amplify the abilties in the public cloud environment. This textual content pronounces an extended load balance mannequin for the majority cloud concentrated on the cloud segregating proposal with a swap mechanism to select specific strategies for great occasions.

In Cloud computing environment QoS i.e. Quality-of-Service and cost is the key element that to be take care of. As, today in the era of big data, the data must be handled properly while satisfying the request. In such case, while handling request of large data or for scientific applications request, flow of information must be sustained. In this paper, a brief introduction of workflow scheduling is given and also a detailed survey of various scheduling algorithms is performed using various parameter.

Cloud is an emerging technology that stores the necessary data and electronic form of data is produced in gigantic quantity. It is vital to maintain the efficacy of this data the need of data recovery services is highly essential. Cloud computing is anticipated as the vital foundation for the creation of IT enterprise and it is an impeccable solution to move databases and application software to big data centers where managing data and services is not completely reliable. Our focus will be on the cloud data storage security which is a vital feature when it comes to giving quality service. It should also be noted that cloud environment comprises of extremely dynamic and heterogeneous environment and because of high scale physical data and resources, the failure of data centre nodes is completely normal.Therefore, cloud environment needs effective adaptive management of data replication to handle the indispensable characteristic of the cloud environment. Disaster recovery using cloud resources is an attractive approach and data replication strategy which attentively helps to choose the data files for replication and the strategy proposed tells dynamically about the number of replicas and effective data nodes for replication. Thus, the objective of future algorithm is useful to help users together the information from a remote location where network connectivity is absent and secondly to recover files in case it gets deleted or wrecked because of any reason. Even, time oriented problems are getting resolved so in less time recovery process is executed.
