paper_title: A survey on security issues and solutions at different layers of Cloud computing

paper_content:

Cloud computing offers scalable on-demand services to consumers with greater flexibility and lesser infrastructure investment. Since Cloud services are delivered using classical network protocols and formats over the Internet, implicit vulnerabilities existing in these protocols as well as threats introduced by newer architectures raise many security and privacy concerns. In this paper, we survey the factors affecting Cloud computing adoption, vulnerabilities and attacks, and identify relevant solution directives to strengthen security and privacy in the Cloud environment.

paper_title: Cloud Computing: Security Issues and Challenges

paper_content:

Assistant Professor, IIET, Kinana (Hry.) Cloud computing allows people to share distributed resources and services that belong to various organizations and sites. The service oriented, loose coupling, strong fault tolerant, business model and ease use are main characteristics of cloud computing. However, despite the surge in activity and interest, there are significant, persistent concerns about cloud computing that are impeding momentum and will eventually compromise the vision of cloud computing as a new IT procurement model .In this paper, a proposed method to build a trusted computing environment for cloud computing system by integrating the trusted computing platform into cloud computing system has developed with a vast attention to the security requirements in cloud computing environment ABSTRACT Gundeep Tanwar Associate, Professor, BRCMCET, Bahal (Hry.)

paper_title: A Quantitative Analysis of Current Security Concerns and Solutions for Cloud Computing

paper_content:

The development of cloud computing services is speeding up the rate in which the organizations outsource their computational services or sell their idle computational resources. Even though migrating to the cloud remains a tempting trend from a financial perspective, there are several other aspects that must be taken into account by companies before they decide to do so. One of the most important aspect refers to security: while some cloud computing security issues are inherited from the solutions adopted to create such services, many new security questions that are particular to these solutions also arise, including those related to how the services are organized and which kind of service/data can be placed in the cloud. Aiming to give a better understanding of this complex scenario, in this article we identify and classify the main security concerns and solutions in cloud computing, and propose a taxonomy of security in cloud computing, giving an overview of the current status of security in this emerging technology.

paper_title: Cloud security: Emerging threats and current solutions

paper_content:

Abstract Many organizations are stuck in the cloudify or not to cloudify limbo, mainly due to concerns related to the security of enterprise sensitive data. Removing this barrier is a key pre-condition to fully unleash the tremendous potential of cloud computing. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the main threats that hamper cloud computing adoption on a wide scale, and a right to the point review of the solutions that are currently being provided by the major vendors. The paper also presents the (near) future directions of cloud security research, by taking a snapshot of the main research trends and most accredited approaches. The study is done on a best of breed selection of proprietary and Open Source cloud offerings. The paper is thus a useful navigation tool, that can be used by the IT personnel to gain more insight into the security risks related to the use of cloud computing, as well as to quickly weigh the pros and cons of state of the art solutions.

paper_title: Software security requirements management as an emerging cloud computing service

paper_content:

We present concise methods, techniques, and best practice requirements management guidelines on software security.Outlines features of the proposed requirements engineering and management as an emerging cloud service (SSREMaaES).Developed an Integrated-Secure SDLC model (IS-SDLC), which will benefit practitioners, researchers, learners, and educators.Application and process of using Microsoft SDLC for DDoS attacks on cloud services.Illustrates our approach for a large cloud system Amazon EC2 service. Emerging cloud applications are growing rapidly and the need for identifying and managing service requirements is also highly important and critical at present. Software Engineering and Information Systems has established techniques, methods and technology over two decades to help achieve cloud service requirements, design, development, and testing. However, due to the lack of understanding of software security vulnerabilities that should have been identified and managed during the requirements engineering phase, we have not been so successful in applying software engineering, information management, and requirements management principles that have been established for the past at least 25 years, when developing secure software systems. Therefore, software security cannot just be added after a system has been built and delivered to customers as seen in today's software applications. This paper provides concise methods, techniques, and best practice requirements engineering and management as an emerging cloud service (SSREMaaES) and also provides guidelines on software security as a service. This paper also discusses an Integrated-Secure SDLC model (IS-SDLC), which will benefit practitioners, researchers, learners, and educators. This paper illustrates our approach for a large cloud system Amazon EC2 service.
