  • IT자원을 공유하여 서비스 형태로 제공하는 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 정보보호 이슈가 해결되지 않으면 활성화될 수 없다. 기업은 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스를 도입하여 정보통신 자원의 효율성을 극대화하고자 한다. 하지만 미국, 일본 등에 비해 국내에서 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스가 아직 활성화되지 못한 가장 큰 이유는 정보보호에 대한 신뢰가 부족하기 때문이다. 본 논문은 국내 외 클라우드 인증제도 및 가이드라인과 정보보호 관리체계 통제 항목을 비교 분석하여 한국형 클라우드를 위한 핵심 평가 기준 및 기존 정보보호 관리체계 통제 항목과의 중복성을 제거한 추가적인 평가 기준을 제안한다. 정보보호 관리체계 인증을 받은 클라우드 서비스 제공자는 추가 평가 기준만으로 중복되고 불필요한 인증 평가 작업을 최소화할 수 있다.

  • The study provides the identification of vulnerabilities in the security issues by Wireless Network. To achieve it the research focus on packet flow analysis, end to end data communication, and the security challenges (Cybercrime, insider threat, attackers, hactivist, malware and Ransomware). To solve this I have used the systematic literature review mechanisms and demonstrative tool namely Wireshark network analyzer. The practical demonstration identifies the packet flow, packet length time, data flow statistics, end- to- end packet flow, reached and lost packets in the network and input/output packet statics graphs. Then, I have developed the proposed model that used to secure the Wireless network solution and prevention vulnerabilities of the network security challenges. And applying the model that used to investigate the security challenges and vulnerabilities of cloud computing services is used to fulfill the network security goals in Wireless network. Finally the research provides the model that investigate the security challenges and vulnerabilities of cloud computing services in wireless networks

  • Cloud Computing is one of the current research areas in computer science. Recently, Cloud is the buzz word used everywhere in IT industries; It introduced the notion of 'pay as you use' and revolutionized developments in IT. The rapid growth of modernized cloud computing leads to 24×7 accessing of e-resources from anywhere at any time. It offers storage as a service where users' data can be stored on a cloud which is managed by a third party who is called Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Since users' data are managed by a third party, it must be encrypted ensuring confidentiality and privacy of the data. There are different types of cryptographic algorithms used for cloud security; in this article, the algorithms and their security measures are discussed.

  • 클라우드 컴퓨팅은 인터넷 기술을 활용하여 IT자원을 필요한 만큼 빌려서 사용하고 서비스 부하에 따라서 실시간 확장성을 지원받으며 사용한 만큼 비용을 지불하는 컴퓨팅 기술을 말한다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 핵심기술인 가상화는 서버, 스토리지 및 하드웨어 등을 분리된 시스템이 아닌 하나의 영역으로 간주하여 자원을 필요에 따라 할당하는 기술이다. 그러나 가상화 환경에서 필요로 하는 보안 메커니즘은 하나의 서버 내부가 아닌 서버 간의 트래픽을 모니터링 하도록 설계되어 있고 기본 수준의 가시성, 통제성 및 감사 기능을 갖는 기존 보안 메카니즘으로는 대응하기 어려운 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에서 가상화 기술의 보안 취약점을 분석하고 이를 토대로 가상화 기술과 관련된 하이퍼바이저 보안 및 게스트 OS 보안 권고 사항을 제시하고자 한다.

  • Cloud computing services has gained increasing popularity in recent years for supporting various on demand and scalable services for IT consumers where there is a need of less investment towards infrastructure. While storage architecture of cloud enjoys a more robust and fault-tolerant cloud computing network, such architecture also poses a number of security challenges especially when applied in applications related to social networks, Financial transactions, etc. First, as data are stored and maintained by individual virtual machines so Cloud resources are prone to hijacked. Such attacks allow attackers to create, modify and delete machine images, and change administrative passwords and settings successfully. hence, it is significantly harder to ensure data security. Second, Due to dynamic and shared nature of the Cloud, data may be compromised in many ways. Last but not least, Service hijacking may lead to redirect client to an illegitimate website. User accounts and service instances could in turn make a new base for attackers. To address the above challenges, we propose in this paper a distributed data access control scheme that is able to fulfil fine-grained access control over cloud data and is resilient against strong attacks such as compromise and user colluding. The proposed framework exploits a novel cryptographic primitive called attribute-based encryption (ABE), tailors, and adapts it for cloud computing with respect to security requirements

  • In the cloud environment, users pay more attentions to their data security since all of them are stored in the cloud server. Researchers have proposed many mutual authentication schemes for the access control of the cloud server by using the smart card to protect the sensitive data. However, few of them can resist from the smart card lost problem and provide both of the forward security and the backward security. In this paper, we propose a novel authentication scheme for cloud computing which can address these problems and also provide the anonymity for the user. The trick we use is using the password, the smart card and the public key technique to protect the processes of the user's authentication and key exchange. Under the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) assumption, it is provably secure in the random oracle model. Compared with the existing smart card based authentication schemes in the cloud computing, the proposed scheme can provide better security degree.

  • Cloud Computing is internet-based computing, where the users are provided with whatever service they need from the resources, software, and information. Recently, the security of cloud computing is considered as one of the major issues for both cloud service providers CSP and end-users. Privacy and highly confidential data make many users refuse to store their data within cloud computing, since data on cloud computing is not dully secured. The cryptographic algorithm is a technique which is used to maintain the security and privacy of the data on the cloud. In this research, we applied eight different cryptographic algorithms on Xen and KVM as hypervisors on cloud computing, to be able to measure and compare the performance of the two hypervisors. Response time and CPU utilization while encryption and decryption have been our aspects to measure the performance. In terms of response time and CPU utilization, results show that KVM is more efficient than Xen on average at 11.5% and 11% respectively. While TripleDES cryptographic algorithm shows a more efficient time response at Xen hypervisor than KVM.

  • 대표적인 융복합 ICT 서비스라고 할 수 있는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 서비스에 대한 법안이 2015년 3월에 통과되면서 많은 업체나 기관에서 다시금 클라우드 서비스 도입을 고려하고 있으나 보안에 대한 염려 때문에 서비스 도입을 주저하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 클라우드 서비스 보안에 대한 객관적이고 공정한 평가와 인증을 수행할 수 있는 클라우드 보안 인증체계의 도입이 요구된다. 현재 클라우드 보안 인증체계에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만 인증스킴에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 따라서 본 연구는 국외 클라우드 보안 인증체계와 클라우드 서비스 제공자에 대한 평가 제도를 분석하여 국내 클라우드 보안 인증 도입시 고려되어야 할 요소들을 분석하였다. 이를 기반으로 국내 실정에 맞는 3가지 인증스킴을 제시하였고, 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 통하여 인증스킴별 장단점을 도출하여 상황에 적절한 인증스킴을 제시하였다.

  • The multi-tenancy and high scalability of the cloud have inspired businesses and organizations across various sectors to adopt and deploy cloud computing. Cloud computing provides cost-effective, reliable, and convenient access to pooled resources, including storage, servers, and networking. Cloud service models, SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS, enable organizations, developers, and end users to access resources, develop and deploy applications, and provide access to pooled computing infrastructure. Despite the benefits, cloud service models are vulnerable to multiple security and privacy attacks and threats. The SaaS layer is on top of the PaaS, and the IaaS is the bottom layer of the model. The software is hosted by a platform offered as a service through an infrastructure provided by a cloud computing provider. The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) delivers cloud-based apps through a web browser. The stateless nature of HTTP facilitates session hijacking and related attacks. The Open Web Applications Security Project identifies web apps' most critical security risks as SQL injections, cross-site scripting, sensitive data leakage, lack of functional access control, and broken authentication. The systematic literature review reveals that data security, application-level security, and authentication are the primary security threats in the SaaS model. The recommended solutions to enhance security in SaaS include Elliptic-curve cryptography and Identity-based encryption. Integration and security challenges in PaaS and IaaS can be effectively addressed using well-defined APIs, implementing Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and standard syntax for cloud provisioning.
