Security is a critical factor for any of the computing platforms. Cloud computing is a new computing environment but still, its basic technology is the Internet. Thus, Cloud computing environment not only has the threats of its own but it is also prone to security issues of its underlying technology i.e. Internet. In this paper, the authors are proposing a secure routing framework viz. Authenticated Dynamic Routing in Cloud Networks (ADRCN) to mitigate the malicious insider attacks while maintaining the path integrity in the Clouds. Symmetric cryptography with hashing is used to maintain the integrity of the path between the source and destination. The purpose of ADRCN is to maintain the integrity of the path between the client and data center. If malicious insider tries to perform an attack between the client and the data center then it will be detected. This work aims to give a solution for detection and prevention of malicious insider attacks in Cloud-based environments.

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.

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 system, where the resources of a data center are shared using virtualization technology, such that it provides elastic, on demand and instant services to its customers and charges them based on the resources they use. In this chapter, we will discuss recent developments in cloud computing, various security issues and challenges associated with Cloud computing environment, various existing solutions provided for dealing with these security threats and will provide a comparative analysis these approaches. This will provide better understanding of the various security problems associated with the cloud, current solution space, and future research scope to deal with such attacks in better way.

However, the security problem in the cloud computing environment has not been effectively resolved. Currently, the research on this problem is getting more attention from the industry. In order to further investigate the information security issues of cloud computing environment, this article not only discusses the basic concept, characteristics and service model of cloud computing, but also focuses on the cloud computing security reference model and cloud cube model. In this paper, the information security problems and concrete solutions in the former cloud computing environment are discussed from different aspects.</span>

Cloud computing holds the possibility to annihilate the needs for setting up of costly computing infrastructure for IT-based services and proffering IT Solutions.  It offers an adaptable IT architecture which is accessible via the internet for lightweight and hand-held compact gadgets. The concept has encouraged numerous folds to improve in the capacity or capabilities of the existing and new software. In the cloud computing environment, the whole data/information is available over a set of networked resources, empowering the information to be accessible via virtual machines. Considering the fact that the cloud computing server may be located in any part of the world beyond the reach and control of users, there are various security issues and privacy challenges that need to be clearly understood with a view to identifying how to mitigate them.  Likewise, there are possibilities of the imminent breakdown of servers which have been witnessed in recent times. This research addresses the security issues connected with cloud computing, provides analysis of the militating factors against the successful implementation of cloud computing and proffers useful recommendations on how to ameliorate identified issues.
