IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is a well-known computing service, which provides infrastructures over the cloud without owning real hardware resources. This is attractive as resources can be scaled up and down instantly according to the user’s computing demands. Customers of such services would like to adjust the utilization policy promptly by considering the charge of the service, but an instantaneous response is not possible as it takes several hours or even a couple of days for cloud service providers to inform the billing information. In this article, we present an instant cost estimation model for estimating the cost of public cloud resources. Specifically, our model estimates the cost of IaaS by monitoring the usage of resources on behalf of virtual machine instances. As this is performed by generating a user-side metering daemon, it is very precise and thus similar to the resource usage evaluated by the cloud service provider. To validate our model, we run PC laboratory services for 50 students in two classes by making use of a public cloud during a semester. Experimental results show that the accuracy of our model is over 99.3% in comparison with the actual charge of the public cloud.

Nowadays, a large number of groups choose to deploy their applications to cloud platforms, especially for the big data era. Currently, the hybrid cloud is one of the most popular computing paradigms for holding the privacy-aware applications driven by the requirements of privacy protection and cost saving. However, it is still a challenge to realize data placement considering both the energy consumption in private cloud and the cost for renting the public cloud services. In view of this challenge, a cost and energy aware data placement method, named CEDP, for privacy-aware applications over big data in hybrid cloud is proposed. Technically, formalized analysis of cost, access time, and energy consumption is conducted in the hybrid cloud environment. Then a corresponding data placement method is designed to accomplish the cost saving for renting the public cloud services and energy savings for task execution within the private cloud platforms. Experimental evaluations validate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed method.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a repository and management system for digital certificates. It can be the centralized or decentralized PKI system for issuing, managing, storing, verifying and distributing the key pairs, public key and private key, or one of the public key certificates. In public cloud, Data Owners and Data Users can upload or download their encrypted data along with services, resources and infrastructures in the hands of Cloud Service Provider. It creates the big security concerns in terms of data security and data privacy for the user and Cloud Service Provider is the sole responsibility to provide the Access Control Policy to restrict the cloud services centrally. With the emergence of cloud computing, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology enables the secure communications in between systems. X.509 certificates are based on the centralized PKI and suffers so many issues in the public cloud. Gnu Privacy Guard (GnuPG) certificates are based on the decentralized PKI system. Imagine a world with decentralized PKI system in which each Kerberos is also a Central Authority for issuing certificates to the system or users. This proposed collaborative PKI framework describes the use of PKI in public cloud, proposed algorithm for Kerberos SSO token and provides acquisition of Public Key certificates from the client via Kerberized Central Authorities.

Cloud computing the most used word in the world of Information Technology, is creating huge differences in IT industry. Nowadays huge amount of data is being generated and the researchers are finding new ways of managing these data. Basically, the word cloud refers to a virtual database that stores huge data from various clients. There are three types of cloud public, private and hybrid. Public cloud is basically for general users where users can use cloud services free or by paying. Private cloud is for any particular organizations and hybrid one is basically combine of both. Cloud offers various kind of services such as IAAS, PAAS, SAAS where services like platform for running any application, accessing the huge storage, can use any application running under cloud are given. The cloud also has a disadvantage regarding the security for the data storage facility. Basically, the public cloud is prone to data modification, data hacking and thus the integrity and confidentiality of the data is being compromised. Here in our work the concern is to protect the data that will be stored in the public cloud by using the multi-phase encryption. The algorithm that we have proposed is a combination of Rail Fence cipher and Play Fair cipher.

As enterprises place more services in public cloud and as the public cloud providers introduce more infrastructure and platform services directly into the hands of developers, it is becoming increasingly complex and time-consuming to answer the seemingly straightforward question “Are we using these services securely?” and “Does the configuration of my cloud services represent excessive risk?” For example, manually assessing the secure setup and configuration in cloud environments across different services, each with varying granularities of authorization policies, is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Simple misconfiguration issues (such as open storage buckets) represent significant risk (see “Open File Shares Are Your Biggest Cloud Security Problem”) and occur often, as evidenced by continuing publicized data disclosures from publicly exposed storage buckets.

Regulatory compliance is equally binding on small and medium business groups. Owing to the small scale and limited budget, such SMBs are unable to seek expert advice. To adequately guard the SMBs in regulatory compliance, the present work proposed a third-party managed-end user-driven approach that renders the list of regulatory acts applicable in one's case according to the country of one's residence, services subscribed, and type of the operations to be carried out in subscribed cloud paradigm. The list of applicable regulatory acts are rendered at the subscriber's end only. In addition, the proposed method notifies the present state of compliance of under-considered cloud providers. Based on the recommendation received, the subscriber can proceed with his decision to subscribe or not to subscribe in the event if desired compliances do not exist. This technological assistance will eliminate the need to possess the required knowledge in regulatory acts or seeking advice from the regulatory expert.
