  • Recently, data can be safely shared or stored using the infrastructure of cloud computing in various fields. However, issues such as data security and privacy affect cloud environments. Thus, a variety of security technologies are required, one of them is security technology using CP-ABE. Research into the CP-ABE scheme is currently ongoing, but the existing CP-ABE schemes can pose security threats and are inefficient. In terms of security, the CP-ABE approach should be secure against user collusion attacks and masquerade attacks. In addition, in a dynamic cloud environment where users are frequently added or removed, they must eliminate user access when they leave, and so users will not be able to access the cloud after removal. A user who has left should not be able to access the cloud with the existing attributes, secret key that had been granted. In addition, the existing CP-ABE scheme increases the size of the ciphertext according to the number of attributes specified by the data owner. This leads to inefficient use of cloud storage space and increases the amount of operations carried out by the user, which becomes excessive when the number of attributes is large. In this paper, CP-ABE access control is proposed to block access of withdrawn users in dynamic cloud environments. This proposed scheme focuses on the revocation of the attributes of the withdrawn users and the output of a ciphertext of a constant-size, and improves the efficiency of the user decryption operation through outsourcing.

  • Application software is delivered to customers as a form of service at cloud environment. A cloud service provider is a marketplace between supply side (application providers) and demand side (customers). Cloud service providers have to validate applications to be included in their service portfolio. Not only performance, security, networking, compliances should be checked but also business contract, authentication should be provided. Organization customers are more sensitive to these validation criteria and process. We study the Internet2 NET+, which is a successful cloud marketplace of applications for research and education organizations. This case study shows us three things : (i) a cloud marketplace's application management process : selection, validation, transition to service, customization of applications (ii) what a cloud marketplace has for its infrastructure like authentication, security, access control etc. (iii) what a cloud marketplace has as its governance structure. This case study will provide informative analysis of Internet2 NET, a profit-making vertical and buyer's marketplace (education industry). And we will get some strategic implications for planning and implementing cloud marketplaces.

  • Cloud computing becomes an important technology for distributed computing and parallel computing. Cloud computing provides various facility like to share resources, software packages, information, storage and many different applications depending on user demand at any time and at any place. It provides an extensive measure for computing and storage. A service provided by it to user follows pay-as-you-go model. Although it provides many facilities still there is some problem which are resource discovery, fault tolerance, load balancing, and security. Out of these Load balancing is the main challenges. There are many techniques which used to distribute wor9kload or task equally across the servers. This paper includes cloud computing, cloud computing architecture, virtualization and MS load balancing technique which provide enhanced load balancing.

  • The cloud computing has propagated rapidly and thus there is growing interest on the introduction of cloud services in the public institution. Accordingly, domestic public institution are adoption of cloud computing impose and devise a plan. In addition, more specifically, is building a cloud computing system in the public institution. However, solutions to various security threats(e.g., availability invasion of storage, access by unauthorized attacker, data downloaded from uncertain identifier, decrease the reliability of cloud data centers and so on) is required. For the introduction and revitalize of cloud services in the public institution. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a public key based secure data management scheme for the cloud data centers in public institution. Thus, the use of cloud computing in the public institutions, the only authorized users have access to the data center. And setting for importance and level of difficulty of public data management enables by systematic, secure, and efficient. Thus, cloud services for public institution to improve the overall security and convenience.

  • In the current cloud environments, the applications are executed on the remote cloud server, and they also utilize computing resources of the remote cloud server such as physical memory and CPU. Therefore, if remote server is exposed to security threat, every applications in remote server can be victim by several security-attacks. Especially, despite many advantages, both individuals and businesses often have trouble to start the cloud services according to the malicious administrator of the cloud server. We propose a security-enhanced local process executing scheme resolving vulnerability of current cloud computing environments. Since secret data is stored in the local, we can protect secret data from security threats of the cloud server. By utilizing computing resource of local computer instead of remote server, high-secure processes can be set free from vulnerability of remote server.
