Abstract Availability is one of the primary security issues in Cloud computing environment. The existing solutions that address the availability related issues can be applied in cloud computing environment, but because of their unique characteristics, such as on-demand self service, rapid elasticity, etc., there is a need to develop a detection mechanism that must satisfy the characteristics and an optimal profit for the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). A solution named Escape-on- Sight (EoS) algorithm is proposed in this paper that helps in detecting the attacker’s characteristics by analyzing traffic conditions stage by stage and protects the Data Center (DC) from malicious traffic. The profit analysis shows that the proposed approach has a reasonable chance of deploying EoS mechanism at DCs that are prone to DDoS attacks.

Computing Platforms

In a cloud ecosystem, most of the data and software that users use reside on the remote server(s), which brings some new challenges for the system, especially security and privacy. At present, these security threats and attacks are the greatest concern for the service providers towards delivering a more secure cloud infrastructure. One of the major concerns is data security, implemented by the most effective means possible and the protection of stored data from unauthorized users and hackers. When considering these security issues, trust is one of the most important means to improve the system’s security and enable interoperability of current heterogeneous cloud computing platforms. The objective of this chapter is to discuss and understand the basic security and privacy challenges of a cloud computing environment as the security of cloud computing is the greatest challenge for delivering a safer cloud environment for both the service providers and the service customers. With this in mind, this chapter will introduce the risks and possible attacks in a cloud computing environment. The major goal is to specify the security risks and attacks and consider trust of cloud service users for delivering a safer and innovation business model.

Cloud computing is a rising paradigm in today's world. In this, users can send his or her request to any CSP, i.e., cloud service provider, of their choice. In return, the CSP reverts him back with that particular service. Now, while communicating from various two locations, the data transferred is not passed through that much amount of security and privacy as expected. So, there are lots of parameters in the environment that are taken care of while sending, receiving or just passing data over the network. This chapter presents various security issues that are underlying in cloud computing. This chapter has illustrated various issues such as Trust, Encryption, Authenticity, Confidentiality and Multi Tenancy. Also, some of the proposed solutions have also been discussed later in the chapter.

Cloud computing is one of the emerging technology in the recent times which has varieties of applications at different fields. It is an Internet dependent technology and it store and maintain the data in a cloud data center. Cloud center usually supports more numbers of user, applications and data. In the same time, it also suffered with numerous challenges. Security is a key requirement for cloud data center. Different security mechanisms are proposed for cloud computing environment. In this chapter, we address the background of cloud computing, security risk, requirements, issues, and some of the security techniques are discussed. We discuss different security issues and focus on some existing solutions.

Malicious Insiders

Cloud computing is comprised of major demand from the every group of organization because of easy availability and cost effectiveness. The responsibilities of cloud service providers will become increasing more due to the great progression in every cloud computing deployment model (public, private and hybrid) and service models (SaaS, PaaS and IaaS). In this perspective, cloud computing faces multiple challenges, especially in cloud computing security at all levels (e.g., host, network, application and data levels). Authentication is the constantly the biggest concerned for IT industries to adopt cloud computing environment. The availability, performance, key logger attack, malicious insiders, outsider attacks and service disruptions explore (service hijacking) issues are the key research challenges in the cloud computing authentication level. In this aspect, traditional user name and password is not enough as a single factor (first factor). This paper has proposed a secure cloud computing framework which uses first factor as a crypt user name and password with the ATM pin as a second factor called M-pin. The proposed work focuses on a solution to the threats that are the major issues in the cloud adoption.
