Abstract: In cloud computing and services with the rapid developments, there has been a growing trend to use the cloud for large-scale data storage. This has raised the important security issue of how to control and prevent unauthorized access to data stored in the cloud. Access control is one of the most important security mechanisms in cloud computing. By using the Role Based Access Control and Attribute Based Access Control, security to the data stored in cloud is enhanced through the fine grained access control policies. Attribute Based and Role Based Encryption techniques are used as the main encryption primitive. Signature Based authentication is used to improve security. Fine grained access control is provided with authentication …show more content…
The cloud aims to cut costs, and help the users focus on their core business instead of being impeded by IT obstacles Cloud computing is so named because the information being accessed is found in the "clouds", and does not require a user to be in a specific place to gain access to it. The services are offered from data centres all over the world, which collectively are referred to as the "cloud." The idea of the "cloud" is to simplify the huge network connections and computer systems involved in online services. Cloud computing is a computing model, not a technology. In this model of computing, all the servers, networks, applications and other elements related to data centres are made available to IT and end users. Cloud computing is a type of computing that is comparable to grid computing. It relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.
Access control is generally a policy or a procedure that allows, denies or restricts access to a system. It also monitors and records all attempts made to access a system. Access Control may also identify users attempting to make an unauthorized access to a system. It is a mechanism which is very much important for providing security. Various access control models are in use, including the most common Mandatory Access Control (MAC), Discretionary Access Control (DAC) and Role Based Access Control (RBAC). All these models are known as identity
Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing segment of Information technology today. In simple words cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead on the computer's hard drive which can be accessed from any part of the world if the individual are connected to the internet or a network connection is available 24/7. A simple example of cloud computing is g-mail. With the connection of internet through any medium we can send and receive emails.
What is cloud computing? Cloud Computing is storing and accessing applications and data over the Internet and not locally of your computer’s hard drive. The concept has been around and in use for years. To put it more simply, cloud computing means providing processing power to electronic devices (PCs, tablets, smartphones) via a remote infrastructure. There are some advantages and disadvantages of using cloud computing in a business environment. I will be describing three advantages and three disadvantages of using cloud computing in everyday business.
Cloud Computing is a type computing that shares resources both hardware and software over the internet rather than sharing it over a local server . Users can access cloud based apps through a web browser or an mobile or laptop which makes things alot easier for the user. Lots of companies use cloud computing such as Xbox 360, there online cloud data service allows users to use their Microsoft accounts anywhere.
Information security refers to protection of information against unauthorised access whether in storage, being processed or in transit. The major goals of information security are confidentiality, integrity and availability. In order to meet these security goals, several access control models have been proposed. Access Control is the control of access to data, system and dialogues based on certain policies. Access control models were traditionally classified as Discretionary Access Control and Mandatory Access Control. However several newer models have since arrived such as I-BAC (Identity Based Access Control), RBAC (Role Based Access Control Model), ABAC (Attribute Based Access Control), TBAC (Task Based Access Control) and T-MAC (Team Based Access Control) (Joshi, Aref, Ghafoor & Spafford, 2001).
Cloud computing is where an individual can save data on a server rather than their own system, such as on their hard drive. This allows more data to be created without it effecting the individual’s computer. An example is one drive by Microsoft.
The three main access control methods available are Mandatory Access Control (MAC), Discretionary Access Control (DAC) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Each one of these control methods provides different layers or levels of technical controls that will limit an IT system or network user’s access to data based on security access controls. Mandatory Access Control is a security model where users are given permissions to resources (files, folders or documents) by an administrator (Windows OS) or root (LINUX or UNIX OS) user. The configuration changes to the file or resource permissions can only be modified by the authorized system administrator. Discretionary Access Control is a security model where users
Cloud computing is an internet based computing which provides various applications and services like storage, servers, infrastructure, networking with low cost, on-demand self service, pay as you go model, location independent resource pooling, reasonable price , rapid elasticity etc. Cloud computing is one way to increase the capacity add capabilities without investing in new infrastructures like computer hardware involves storage memory, licensing for new software, training for a person and in a dynamic way.
Cloud computing also known as on demand computing is an internet based computing service. Rather than having your files and applications stored on your computer, you store them at a different location over the internet. Computer technology is moving very fast. Only few years ago, computers were very expensive and had very low hard disk drive space. People used to save their files on floppy disks, zip drives, etc. Today. Computing is being sent to the cloud. The faster internet connections have become, the more applications and storages have moved to the Cloud and out of internal servers and PCs. Such a move to cloud was not possible until now, because the internet broadband connectivity did not exist and now such existence makes cloud computing a true possibility for not only
Cloud Computing, also known as ‘on-demand-computing’. It is a computing that based on internet to share resources, information, and data with other devices on-demand. It is a model that enabled everywhere, computing resources such as servers, networks, applications and storages that are configurable can be shared once demand with access and provision rapidly and released with minimum effort of management, and different services are handed through Internet to the computer of organization. Cloud Computing depend on sharing computing resources instead of using personal devices or local servers to handle applications.
Cloud computing is one of those buzzword that can be misleading to people unfamiliar with cloud services. With regular computing, hardware and software is part of the desktop or it is located inside an organization 's network. Cloud computing is means the hardware, storage, and software is provided as a service by another company and accessed over the Internet. The first known reference to what is today called cloud computing was in a Compaq internal document in 1996, but the term did not enter true popularity until Amazon.com introduced the Elastic Compute Cloud. There are different types and delivery models of cloud computing and at the core of Cloud Computing is that a service provider hosts the application which means they will manage software updates, handle costs of servers or development depending on how much the client pays.
The cloud is just a metaphor for Internet. Cloud computing is that service in which data is to stored and accessed
Cloud computing is an advanced computing technology based on the Internet environment to share the computing resources. Cloud computing refers to the services and applications delivered via Internet and also refers to hardware and software in the datacenters that provide those services. Cloud computing model has five characters, three service models, and three deployment models [1].
Abstract — Cloud Computing changed the way of computing and data and storage concept nowadays. In Cloud computing we use different type of security concepts to work with it. In present we are working with the encryption mechanism to secure the data. Encryption mechanism is failing and not capable to secure the cloud data as well as internal data theft attacks. For these problems we are proposing different approach to secure the cloud FOG COMPUTING. In this technology we will use decoy information technology to work with and we will monitor the behavior of the user to intercept the user’s behavior inside the cloud even though he/she is registered user on the cloud.
Cloud computing is a form of computing in which large groups of remote servers are networked to allow centralized data storage and online access to computer services or resources [Wikipedia].
Cloud Computing is the use of common software, functionality or business applications from a remote server that is accessed via the Internet. Basically, the Internet is the "cloud" of applications and services that are available for access by subscribers utilizing a modem from their computer. With Cloud Computing, one simply logs into desired computer applications - such as sales force or office automation programs, web services, data storage services, spam filtering, or even blog sites. Generally, access to such programs is by monthly or annual paid subscription. Through Cloud Computing, businesses may prevent financial waste, better track
