Openness and Security in Cloud Computing Services: Assessment Methods and Investment Strategies Analysis

Cloud computing companies need to achieve a balance between service openness and security control to promote the growth of the cloud service business. This paper is a theoretical discussion of the complete service openness condition and the complete security control condition based on Nash equilibrium from the perspective of investment, including investment in service and investment in security by the cloud computing company. The quantitative assessment methods of two conditions are designed based on the investments. A quantitative analysis of the impact of security investments on security control and service openness is presented. Based on this analysis, the optimal security investment for service openness and the minimum complete service openness investment standard are derived. Finally, the relationship between them is analyzed to help cloud computing providers decide the optimal strategy for coordinating investment in both service and security.

Data security and risk assessment in cloud computing

Cloud computing has attracted more and more attention as it reduces the cost of IT infrastructure of organizations. In our country, business Cloud services, such as Alibaba Cloud, Huawei Cloud, QingCloud, UCloud and so on are gaining more and more uses, especially small or median organizations. In the cloud service scenario, the program and data are migrating into cloud, resulting the lack of trust between customers and cloud service providers. However, the recent study on Cloud computing is mainly focused on the service side, while the data security and trust have not been sufficiently studied yet. This paper investigates into the data security issues from data life cycle which includes five steps when an organization uses Cloud computing. A data management framework is given out, including not only the data classification but also the risk management framework. Concretely, the data is divided into two varieties, business and personal information. And then, four classification levels (high, medium, low, normal) according to the different extent of the potential adverse effect is introduced. With the help of classification, the administrators can identify the application or data to implement corresponding security controls. At last, the administrators conduct the risk assessment to alleviate the risk of data security. The trust between customers and cloud service providers will be strengthen through this way.

Study on model fostering for cloud service brokerage

The growing company that provides high quality service to every customer by introducing a cloud system organization. However, the information needs diverse and different cloud systems, so every cloud system can act as a security system that provide appropriate cloud systems. Cloud services are becoming complicated and diversified depending on concerns about cloud security continues, the growing need of professionalism held by the cloud service (CSB : cloud service brokerage) companies. Thus, to analyze the various services, find my support legislation to solve, security and delete compatibility issues, the services of the best new business through service offerings tailored to the environment, and will implement the necessary management services which which is brokerage (CSB). This study presents a brokerage (CSB) development model, and suggests policy measures that apply to the co-operation that I am having difficulties in cloud service business models.

BYOD and Governance of the Personal Cloud

Cloud services are increasingly being used for a variety of purposes, including e-mail, social networking, music streaming, calendar management, file storage etc. In recent times the evolution of cloud services from private applications to corporate usage has been observed. This has led to the question of how private and business cloud services can be dual-accessed through a single device, in particular a mobile device that is used as part of a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy. This paper considers the issues that arise from a consolidation of private and professional applications when accessed from a single device and introduces the term “personal cloud” to characterise such situations. It also presents an approach to cloud governance from a business perspective focusing in particular on security tokens, hardware keys and smart containers.

Cooperative Cloud Service Aware Mobile Internet Coverage Connectivity Guarantee Protocol Based on Sensor Opportunistic Coverage Mechanism

In order to improve the Internet coverage ratio and provide connectivity guarantee, based on sensor opportunistic coverage mechanism and cooperative cloud service, we proposed the coverage connectivity guarantee protocol for mobile Internet. In this scheme, based on the opportunistic covering rules, the network coverage algorithm of high reliability and real-time security was achieved by using the opportunity of sensor nodes and the Internet mobile node. Then, the cloud service business support platform is created based on the Internet application service management capabilities and wireless sensor network communication service capabilities, which is the architecture of the cloud support layer. The cooperative cloud service aware model was proposed. Finally, we proposed the mobile Internet coverage connectivity guarantee protocol. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has excellent performance, in terms of the security of the Internet and the stability, as well as coverage connectivity ability.

Cloud service access control system based on ontologies

Cloud service is a new and distinctive business model for service providers. Access control is an emerging and challenging issue in supporting cloud service business. This work proposes a new access control mechanism called cloud service access control (CSAC). The CSAC mechanism considers payment status and service level as the two essential characteristics of cloud service. Ontology is a theoretical foundation for the CSAC mechanism. Inconsistent access control policies are detected by a set of proposed policy conflict analysis rules. Inappropriate user accesses are inhibited by access control policies according the proposed access denying rules. System architecture is designed to support the CSAC mechanism. A case study is provided to demonstrate how CSAC works. Finally, an evaluation is conducted to measure the concept explosion issue in CSAC.

Access Control Policy Analysis and Access Denial Method for Cloud Services

Personal cloud computing is an emerging trend in the computer industry. For a sustainable service, cloud computing services must control user access. The essential business characteristics of cloud computing are payment status and service level agreement. This work proposes a novel access control method for personal cloud service business. The proposed method sets metadata, policy analysis rules, and access denying rules. Metadata define the structure of access control policies and user requirements for cloud services. The policy analysis rules are used to compare conflicts and redundancies between access control policies. The access denying rules apply policies for inhibiting inappropriate access. The ontology is a theoretical foundation of this method. In this work, ontologies for payment status, access permission, service level, and the cloud provide semantic information needed to execute rules. A scenario of personal data backup cloud service is also provided in this work. This work potentially provides cloud service providers with a convenient method of controlling user access according to changeable business and marketing strategies.

Architecture & Design of Affordable and Highly Available Enterprise Cloud Service

Cloud computing is a way to increase capacity or add capabilities on the fly without investing in additional infrastructure, licensing additional software or training new personnel. Enterprises must embrace this bleeding edge real-time business model in order to compete in the current marketplace. Deployment of enterprise applications in public cloud can reduce investment on IT infrastructure both in terms of hardware and software, whenever new services are to be provisioned. Furthermore, cloud services are quite attractive to business because of its dynamic scalability, privacy, performance and ability to handle heterogeneous environments. Instead of spending a lot of time in figuring out server setup and working on routers, it is judicious to subscribe cloud based 24/7 support and affordable services. It’s an extremely important consideration to subscribe to at least two cloud vendors for smooth running of applications and ensure application availability by switching from one provider to another with minimal management effort. In this article we have proposed an architecture and design of a cost affordable online enterprise cloud application that subscribes to two public cloud vendors with respect to cost and availability parameters. We also present the reasons for the current trend of enterprises moving towards 24/7 online business cloud services.
