A Novel Approach to Load Balancing and Security using SSL in Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

Cloud computing has become an integral part of modern-day computing due to its numerous benefits, such as scalability, availability, and cost-effectiveness. However, load balancing and security remain significant challenges in cloud computing environments. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to load balancing and security using SSL in cloud computing environments. We designed a system architecture that consists of a load balancer, multiple servers, and SSL certificates. We developed a load balancing algorithm that considers the current workload of each server and the incoming traffic to distribute traffic among servers based on their current workload and available resources. We implemented SSL encryption to secure communication between the client and server, ensuring data confidentiality. We also implemented several security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the system and detect and prevent attacks on the system. Our performance evaluations demonstrate that our approach outperforms traditional load balancing and security approaches. Our approach provides a robust and secure system architecture that ensures optimal performance and data confidentiality in cloud computing environments.
