Hybrid Authentication

This paper is presented as part of a collaborative research project to develop a complex Cloud Service Delivery Platform (CSDP). The aim of the project is to develop a new disruptive approach for service provision to enable the creation of new value chains via Cloud Technology. This paper is primarily concerned with designing and implementing a novel Multi-tenancy architecture which supports a proposed hybrid authentication mechanism for greater resource optimization with enhanced security. The contribution of this paper is three-fold. First, it provides the reader with a concise classification of security concerns together with some developed concepts namely; Security-Aware cloud platform and a Cloud Adoption Model. Second, it proposes a hybrid authentication approach, coupling Single-Sign-On (SSO) with multi-factor authentication to enable improved security for Cloud federated access. Third, is to design and implement an integrated architecture enabling this hybrid authentication solution in a multi-tenancy setting. To the best of the authors knowledge, this work has not been attempted before and is unprecedented.

<P>Background: The cloud computing is the modern trend in high-performance computing. Cloud computing becomes very popular due to its characteristic of available anywhere, elasticity, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, etc. Though the cloud grants various benefits, it has associated issues and challenges to prevent the organizations to adopt the cloud. </P><P> Objective: The objective of this paper is to cover the several perspectives of Cloud Computing. This includes a basic definition of cloud, classification of the cloud based on Delivery and Deployment Model. The broad classification of the issues and challenges faced by the organization to adopt the cloud computing model are explored. Examples for the broad classification are Data Related issues in the cloud, Service availability related issues in cloud, etc. The detailed sub-classifications of each of the issues and challenges discussed. The example sub-classification of the Data Related issues in cloud shall be further classified into Data Security issues, Data Integrity issue, Data location issue, Multitenancy issues, etc. This paper also covers the typical problem of vendor lock-in issue. This article analyzed and described the various possible unique insider attacks in the cloud environment. </P><P> Results: The guideline and recommendations for the different issues and challenges are discussed. The most importantly the potential research areas in the cloud domain are explored. </P><P> Conclusion: This paper discussed the details on cloud computing, classifications and the several issues and challenges faced in adopting the cloud. The guideline and recommendations for issues and challenges are covered. The potential research areas in the cloud domain are captured. This helps the researchers, academicians and industries to focus and address the current challenges faced by the customers.</P>

Minimal Resource

<span>Online Nowadays, the enterprises &amp; individuals are contributing their workloads on cloud service providers which are going to increase on daily basis. There are   large amount CSP are available to offer virtualized and dynamic resource on pay and use basis. However, there are almost CSP failed to maintain quality of service (QOS) and minimal resource optimization. Some of the existing approaches are highly dedicated on scheduling policy but, it does not considered reliable services with optimized QOS. To offer best solution of above problem, the framework proposes Enhanced Minimal Resource Optimization based Scheduling Algorithm to minimize the resources and maintain the QOS.  The method avoids delay in Request-Response model in cloud environment. To avoid overload for resource allocation, the proposed design utilized optimized scheduling policy.  Proposed mechanisms utilized optimized service brokering policy to reduce the delay response in cloud environment. The framework also help cloud user to prefer best CSP according to their prior services. The method offers rising trend of resource based structure to reduce the placement churn extensively. Proposed system utilized efficient scheduling policy to transmit data request to CSP with minimal data processing time. The entire utilization is to improve the QOS of cloud service provider in the features of multi-dimensional resource. Based on experimental evaluations, proposed technique improves the CPT (Computation Processing Time) 301.72 milliseconds, BU (Bandwidth Utilization) 20 Mbps, CPUU (CPU Utilization) 5% &amp; MRU (Memory Resource Utilization) 3% on given input parameters compare than existing methodology.</span>

Although the IoT opens the door to endless possibilities, but it is also associated with many risks because all devices connected to the internet involve the use of data points. Therefore, it is essential to ensure IoT security and privacy. A review of existing research works highlights the usage of traditional security scheme based on cryptography for data transmission among IoT nodes and gateways. The proposed system proposes an integrated model that combines lightweight encryption technique with robust and cost-efficient authentication mechanism. The proposed system introduces digital signature-based authentication and complexity minimization in order to resist the involvement of any kind of unknown attacks. The simulation outcome of this model exhibits reliable security, faster response times and energy savings for IoT nodes.
