Cloud security is one of the major issues which are affecting the acceptance of Cloud computing (CC). In spite of the number of benefits offered by CC, it also suffers from a myriad of security vulnerabilities. Security is the prime concern while we are accessing the resources from the Cloud through the Internet. This research work is primarily on IAAS (Infrastructure as a service). Here a protocol called Authenticated Routing on Cloud Network (ARCN) has been proposed, to secure the communication route between the client and service provider. The proposed protocol ARCN uses the public key cryptography to mitigate the various security attacks like malicious insider attacks, Spoofing, Falsified routes, DoS, etc.

Summary Objectives: Internet technologies provide an attractive infrastructure for efficient and low cost communications in regional health information networks. The advantages provided by the Internet come however with a significantly greater element of risk to the confidentiality and integrity of information. This is because the Internet has been designed primarily to optimize information sharing and interoperability, not security. The main objective of this paper is to propose the exploitation of public-key cryptography techniques to provide adequate security to enable secure healthcare Internet applications. Methods: Public-key cryptography techniques can provide the needed security infrastructure in regional health networks. In the regional health-care security framework presented in this paper, we propose the use of state-of-art Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology. Such an e-Health PKI consists of regional certification authorities that are implemented within the central hospitals of each region and provide their services to the rest of the healthcare establishments of the same region. Results: Significant experience in this area has been gained from the implementation of the PKI@AUTH project. Conclusions: The developed PKI infrastructure already successfully provides its security services to the AHEPA university hospital. The same infrastructure is designed to easily support a number of hospitals participating in a regional health information network.

Certificateless Public Key Cryptography (CL-PKC) scheme is a new standard that combines Identity (ID)-based cryptography and tradi- tional PKC. It yields better security than the ID-based cryptography scheme without requiring digital certificates. In the CL-PKC scheme, as the Key Generation Center (KGC) generates a public key using a partial secret key, the need for authenticating the public key by a trusted third party is avoided. Due to the lack of authentication, the public key associated with the private key of a user may be replaced by anyone. Therefore, the ciphertext cannot be decrypted accurately. To mitigate this issue, an Enhanced Certificateless Proxy Signature (E-CLPS) is proposed to offer high security guarantee and requires minimum computational cost. In this work, the Hackman tool is used for detecting the dictionary attacks in the cloud. From the experimental analysis, it is observed that the proposed E-CLPS scheme yields better Attack Detection Rate, True Positive Rate, True Negative Rate and Minimum False Positives and False Negatives than the existing schemes.

Symmetric Key Cryptography

Cryptography is an essential and effective method for securing information’s and data. Several symmetric and asymmetric key cryptographic algorithms are used for securing the data. Symmetric key cryptography uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. Asymmetric Key Cryptography also known as public key cryptography uses two different keys – a public key and a private key. The public key is used for encryption and the private key is used for decryption. In this paper, certain asymmetric key algorithms such as RSA, Rabin, Diffie-Hellman, ElGamal and Elliptical curve cryptosystem, their security aspects and the processes involved in design and implementation of these algorithms are examined.

This chapter presents a keyless self-encrypting/decrypting system to be used in various communications systems. In the world of vast communications systems, data flow through various kinds of media, including free air. Thus the information transmitted is free to anyone who can peer it, which means that there should be a guarding mechanism so the information is transmitted securely over the medium from the sender to the intended receiver, who is supposed to get it in the first place and deter the others from getting the information sent. Many encryption systems have been devised for this purpose, but most of them are built around Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) wherein public key cryptography, a public and private key, is created simultaneously using the same algorithm (a popular one is known as RSA) by a certificate authority (CA). The private key is given only to the requesting party, and the public key is made publicly available (as part of a digital certificate) in a directory that all parties can access. The private key is never shared with anyone or sent across the medium. All of the commonly used encryption systems exchange keys that need to be generated using complex mathematical operations that take noticeable time, which is sometimes done once, and exchanged openly over unsecured medium. We are proposing an expandable keyless self-encrypting/decrypting system, which does not require the use of keys in order o minimize the chances of breaching data exchange security and enhance the data security of everyday communications devices that are otherwise insecured.

Multivariate quadratic based public-key cryptography called MQ problem which based on calculation of a secure cryptography of multivariate equations and MQ cryptography security is based on the difficulty of the solution of multivariate equations. But computer and mathematician scientists put a lot of effort and a long time to research MQ cryptography and they have proved that MQ cryptography is NP complete problem. Therefore, before the P problem Equal to the NP problem we do not figure out selected multivariate equations by random in polynomial time. So we can use this feature to construct the relative safety method of the public key encryption. A new type of public-key cryptosystem has been brought up in this paper that one-way shell core function which has such advantages as more security and flexibility, and provides a more inclusive public-key cryptosystem.

The fast moving world full of data exchange and communication technology, with all sensitive information of an individual virtually available anywhere and anytime, make the Internet world more critical in security aspects. The areas of risks are attended and assured to be safe by means of some sought of crypto mechanisms. The strength and vulnerability of the crypto mechanism defines the durability of the system. The encryption on the communication channel can implement either public or private key algorithms based on the area of applications. The public key cryptography is specifically designed to keep the key itself safe between the sender and receiver themselves. There are plenty of public key cryptographic algorithms but only a few are renowned. This paper is aimed to collect all possible public key cryptographic methods and analyze its pros and cons so as to find a better algorithm to suite almost all conditions in Internet communication world and e-commerce. Research in quantum computers is booming now and it is anticipated that the supremacy of quantum computers will crack the present public key crypto algorithms. This paper highlights issues and challenges to be faced from quantum computing and draws the attention of network researchers to march towards researching on quantum-safe algorithms.

Electronic forms of communications are becoming increasingly pervasive. The Internet links not only senders and receivers of e-mail, but also consumers to suppliers, businesses to businesses, citizens to governments, and so forth. The potential for communications to be intercepted, hijacked, emulated, or otherwise manipulated for nefarious purposes is an area of grave concern. The security of message traffic relies heavily upon encryption. Encryption relies upon keys. Public key infrastructure (PKI) addresses keys – how they are used, how they are exchanged, and how they are validated. Furthermore, public key cryptography provides confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation. In general, PKI is a broad subject matter and is constantly evolving to meet the rapid growth in today’s information world. This chapter is intended to reveal the mystery, and perhaps misconceptions, of the PKI as well as offering readers a broad high-level view of the PKI.
