In the recent years, cloud computing has emerged
as one of the hottest and revolutionizing trends in the field of
information technology. Even as more and more people and
organizations are migrating towards cloud computing, security
issues posed by the cloud is a growing concern.
In this paper, we propose a layered architecture to enhance
the protection of data in cloud infrastructure. The architecture,
which is a software solution, mitigates some of the security
issues such as DDoS attacks, of data by malicious insiders
and hackers and unauthenticated users. It encompasses three
layers, the authentication layer, the transport layer and the
storage layer. The authentication is done by ‘Private cookie
authentication scheme’ and ‘Homomorphic encryption
scheme’, while the DDOS attacks have been handled by
building an analyzer that detects and blocks the attacks. The
data is split into different chunks and encrypted before storage.
Also an N dimensional mechanism has been proposed for key
management, thus ensuring that the interests of the customers
at large are protected.

Assessing the Security of Cloud SaaS SolutionsDigital Bond
The document discusses assessing the security of cloud SaaS solutions. It covers cloud security standards like ISO 27001, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, and CSA STAR certification. Trust in the cloud is difficult due to lack of transparency from cloud providers. The document provides approaches for evaluating a cloud provider's security controls, privacy practices, and data protection. It also includes sample questions from the CSA consensus assessment initiative to assess these areas for a specific cloud SaaS solution.
This document discusses security and privacy issues in cloud computing and proposes solutions. It outlines the differences between public and private clouds, with private clouds residing inside an enterprise's firewall and providing full security through antivirus software and access only by registered users, while public clouds have no control mechanisms and data can be publicly available and accessed by fraudulent users. Current solutions like antivirus and VPNs increase overhead on every update and do not prevent unauthorized access. The proposed solution is an extra cloud access code mechanism that is managed centrally and only requires one-time updates, controlling traffic and only allowing authorized users via access codes.
This document discusses security challenges in cloud computing and proposes a framework to address them. It begins by reviewing existing literature on cloud security that identifies threats like VM-level attacks, management interface compromise, and compliance risks. It then discusses specific threats to cloud computing like changes to business models, abusive use of cloud resources, insecure APIs, and issues from shared infrastructure and multitenancy. The document proposes a cloud security model and framework to define security challenges and help providers enforce complex security policies to detect and prevent attacks in cloud environments.
This document discusses the challenges and opportunities of cloud security from the perspective of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). It outlines key issues like legal jurisdiction, privacy protection, and lack of transparency from cloud providers. The CSA aims to address these issues by creating a global trusted cloud ecosystem through research, standards, and education. It has grown significantly since its founding in 2009 and now has over 44,000 members worldwide.

Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing - a High-level viewragibhasan
The document discusses security challenges in cloud computing from a high-level view. It notes that while clouds introduce new attack vectors like co-tenancy, today's cloud architectures provide little security, accountability or transparency. Open problems include how to prevent exploitation of shared infrastructure, provide data integrity assurances, and enable forensic investigations in clouds. The author advocates for research on maintaining data and computation provenance in clouds to increase accountability and trustworthiness. However, current cloud security research often fails to consider economic and practical constraints required for real-world adoption.
The document discusses the importance of information security policies and standards in organizations. It explains that while technical defenses are increasingly sophisticated, the human element remains the biggest security vulnerability. To address this, organizations should develop clear, high-level security policies set by management along with more detailed standards to implement the policies. Additionally, extensive training is needed to educate employees about security risks and policies, as social engineering is easily exploited. The human side of security is often overlooked despite being the weak point, so policies and standards help guide secure behavior while training raises awareness of threats.
A SECURITY FRAMEWORK IN CLOUD COMPUTING INFRASTRUCTUREIJNSA Journal
In a typical cloud computing diverse facilitating components like hardware, software, firmware,
networking, and services integrate to offer different computational facilities, while Internet or a private
network (or VPN) provides the required backbone to deliver the services. The security risks to the cloud
system delimit the benefits of cloud computing like “on-demand, customized resource availability and
performance management”. It is understood that current IT and enterprise security solutions are not
adequate to address the cloud security issues. This paper explores the challenges and issues of security
concerns of cloud computing through different standard and novel solutions. We propose analysis and
architecture for incorporating different security schemes, techniques and protocols for cloud computing,
particularly in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) systems. The proposed
architecture is generic in nature, not dependent on the type of cloud deployment, application agnostic and
is not coupled with the underlying backbone. This would facilitate to manage the cloud system more
effectively and provide the administrator to include the specific solution to counter the threat. We have also
shown using experimental data how a cloud service provider can estimate the charging based on the
security service it provides and security-related cost-benefit analysis can be estimated.
PRIVACY-PRESERVING PUBLIC AUDITING FOR DATA STORAGESECURITY IN CLOUD COMPUTINGKayalvizhi Selvaraj
This document proposes a privacy-preserving public auditing system for cloud data storage. It allows an external third party auditor (TPA) to audit user's outsourced data stored in the cloud without learning the data content. The proposed scheme supports batch auditing where the TPA can perform multiple auditing tasks simultaneously. It utilizes public key based homomorphic authenticators and random masking techniques to achieve privacy-preserving public auditing for cloud data storage.
DATA STORAGE SECURITY CHALLENGES IN CLOUD COMPUTINGijsptm
In the digital world using technology and new technologies require safe and reliable environment, and it also requires consideration to all the challenges that technology faces with them and address these challenges. Cloud computing is also one of the new technologies in the IT world in this rule there is no exception. According to studies one of the major challenges of this technology is the security and safety required for providing services and build trust in consumers to transfer their data into the cloud. In this paper we attempt to review and highlight security challenges, particularly the security of data storage in a cloud environment. Also, provides some offers to enhance the security of data storage in the cloud
computing systems that by using these opinions can be overcome somewhat on the problems.
The Security and Privacy Threats to Cloud ComputingAnkit Singh
This document discusses security and privacy threats to cloud computing. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing, describing cloud service models and threats. It then analyzes security weaknesses like lack of encryption and data leaks. Recommendations for research from ENISA are provided. The document also discusses how governments can access user data. Finally, it describes the TClouds project for more trustworthy clouds and concludes that privacy is a major challenge when storing sensitive data in the cloud.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes using an artificial neural network tuned by a simulated annealing algorithm for real-time credit card fraud detection. The paper describes how simulated annealing can be used to train the weights of a neural network model to classify credit card transactions as fraudulent or non-fraudulent based on attributes of past transactions. The algorithm is tested on a real-world credit card transaction dataset and is found to effectively classify most transactions correctly, though some misclassifications still occur.
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) have been widely used in various applications.
In these networks nodes collect data from the attached sensors and send their data to a base
station. However, nodes in WSN have limited power supply in form of battery so the nodes
are expected to minimize energy consumption in order to maximize the lifetime of WSN. A
number of techniques have been proposed in the literature to reduce the energy
consumption significantly. In this paper, we propose a new clustering based technique
which is a modification of the popular LEACH algorithm. In this technique, first cluster
heads are elected using the improved LEACH algorithm as usual, and then a cluster of
nodes is formed based on the distance between node and cluster head. Finally, data from
node is transferred to cluster head. Cluster heads forward data, after applying aggregation,
to the cluster head that is closer to it than sink in forward direction or directly to the sink.
This reduction in distance travelled improves the performance over LEACH algorithm
significantly.
This document provides an overview of vertical handover decision strategies in heterogeneous wireless networks. It begins with an introduction to always best connectivity requirements in next generation networks that allow users to move between different network technologies. It then discusses the key aspects of handover management, including the three phases of initiation, decision, and execution. Various criteria for the handover decision process are described, such as received signal strength, network connection time, available bandwidth, power consumption, cost, security, and user preferences. Different types of handover decision strategies are categorized, including those based on network conditions, user preferences, multiple attributes, fuzzy logic/neural networks, and context awareness. The strategies are analyzed and their advantages/disadvantages compared.
This paper presents the design and performance comparison of a two stage
operational amplifier topology using CMOS and BiCMOS technology. This conventional op
amp circuit was designed by using RF model of BSIM3V3 in 0.6 μm CMOS technology and
0.35 μm BiCMOS technology. Both the op amp circuits were designed and simulated,
analyzed and performance parameters are compared. The performance parameters such as
gain, phase margin, CMRR, PSRR, power consumption etc achieved are compared. Finally,
we conclude the suitability of CMOS technology over BiCMOS technology for low power
RF design.
In Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN), Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) is
used to improve performance of spectrum sensing techniques used for detection of licensed
(Primary) user’s signal. In CSS, the spectrum sensing information from multiple unlicensed
(Secondary) users are combined to take final decision about presence of primary signal. The
mixing techniques used to generate final decision about presence of PU’s signal are also
called as Fusion techniques / rules. The fusion techniques are further classified as data
fusion and decision fusion techniques. In data fusion technique all the secondary users
(SUs) share their raw information of spectrum detection like detected energy or other
statistical information, while in decision fusion technique all the SUs take their local
decisions and share the decision by sending ‘0’ or ‘1’ corresponding to absence and presence
of PU’s signal respectively. The rules used in decision fusion techniques are OR rule, AND
rule and K-out-of-N rule. The CSS is further classified as distributed CSS and centralized
CSS. In distributed CSS all the SUs share the spectrum detection information with each
other and by mixing the shared information; all the SUs take final decision individually. In
centralized CSS all the SUs send their detected information to a secondary base station /
central unit which combines the shared information and takes final decision. The secondary
base station shares the final decision with all the SUs in the CRN. This paper covers
overview of information fusion methods used for CSS and analysis of decision fusion rules
with simulation results.
This paper analyzes the impact of network scalability on various physical attributes of Zigbee networks. Simulations were conducted using Qualnet to evaluate the performance of the Zigbee physical layer based on energy consumption and throughput. Energy consumption was analyzed for different modulation schemes (ASK, BPSK, OQPSK), network sizes (2-50 nodes), and clear channel assessment modes. The results showed that OQPSK and ASK had lower energy consumption than BPSK. Throughput was highest for OQPSK. While carrier sense had slightly higher throughput than other CCA modes, the energy consumption differences between CCA modes were minor.
This paper gives a brief idea of the moving objects tracking and its application.
In sport it is challenging to track and detect motion of players in video frames. Task
represents optical flow analysis to do motion detection and particle filter to track players
and taking consideration of regions with movement of players in sports video. Optical flow
vector calculation gives motion of players in video frame. This paper presents improved
Luacs Kanade algorithm explained for optical flow computation for large displacement and
more accuracy in motion estimation.
A rapid progress is seen in the field of robotics both in educational and industrial
automation sectors. The Robotics education in particular is gaining technological advances
and providing more learning opportunities. In automotive sector, there is a necessity and
demand to automate daily human activities by robot. With such an advancement and
demand for robotics, the realization of a popular computer game will help students to learn
and acquire skills in the field of robotics. The computer game such as Pacman offers
challenges on both software and hardware fronts. In software, it provides challenges in
developing algorithms for a robot to escape from the pool of attacking robots and to develop
algorithms for multiple ghost robots to attack the Pacman. On the hardware front, it
provides a challenge to integrate various systems to realize the game. This project aims to
demonstrate the pacman game in real world as well as in simulation. For simulation
purpose Player/Stage is used to develop single-client and multi-client architectures. The
multi- client architecture in player/stage uses one global simulation proxy to which all the
robot models are connected. This reduces the overhead to manage multiple robots proxy.
The single-client architecture enables only two robot models to connect to the simulation
proxy. Multi-client approach offers flexibility to add sensors to each port which will be used
distinctly by the client attached to the respective robot. The robots are named as Pacman
and Ghosts, which try to escape and attack respectively. Use of Network Camera has been
done to detect the global positions of the robots and data is shared through inter-process
communication.
In Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems, the visual contents of the
images in the database are took out and represented by multi-dimensional characteristic
vectors. A well known CBIR system that retrieves images by unsupervised method known
as cluster based image retrieval system. For enhancing the performance and retrieval rate
of CBIR system, we fuse the visual contents of an image. Recently, we developed two
cluster-based CBIR systems by fusing the scores of two visual contents of an image. In this
paper, we analyzed the performance of the two recommended CBIR systems at different
levels of precision using images of varying sizes and resolutions. We also compared the
performance of the recommended systems with that of the other two existing CBIR systems
namely UFM and CLUE. Experimentally, we find that the recommended systems
outperform the other two existing systems and one recommended system also comparatively
performed better in every resolution of image.
Information Systems and Networks are subjected to electronic attacks. When
network attacks hit, organizations are thrown into crisis mode. From the IT department to
call centers, to the board room and beyond, all are fraught with danger until the situation is
under control. Traditional methods which are used to overcome these threats (e.g. firewall,
antivirus software, password protection etc.) do not provide complete security to the system.
This encourages the researchers to develop an Intrusion Detection System which is capable
of detecting and responding to such events. This review paper presents a comprehensive
study of Genetic Algorithm (GA) based Intrusion Detection System (IDS). It provides a
brief overview of rule-based IDS, elaborates the implementation issues of Genetic Algorithm
and also presents a comparative analysis of existing studies.
Step by step operations by which we make a group of objects in which attributes
of all the objects are nearly similar, known as clustering. So, a cluster is a collection of
objects that acquire nearly same attribute values. The property of an object in a cluster is
similar to other objects in same cluster but different with objects of other clusters.
Clustering is used in wide range of applications like pattern recognition, image processing,
data analysis, machine learning etc. Nowadays, more attention has been put on categorical
data rather than numerical data. Where, the range of numerical attributes organizes in a
class like small, medium, high, and so on. There is wide range of algorithm that used to
make clusters of given categorical data. Our approach is to enhance the working on well-
known clustering algorithm k-modes to improve accuracy of algorithm. We proposed a new
approach named “High Accuracy Clustering Algorithm for Categorical datasets”.
Brain tumor is a malformed growth of cells within brain which may be
cancerous or non-cancerous. The term ‘malformed’ indicates the existence of tumor. The
tumor may be benign or malignant and it needs medical support for further classification.
Brain tumor must be detected, diagnosed and evaluated in earliest stage. The medical
problems become grave if tumor is detected at the later stage. Out of various technologies
available for diagnosis of brain tumor, MRI is the preferred technology which enables the
diagnosis and evaluation of brain tumor. The current work presents various clustering
techniques that are employed to detect brain tumor. The classification involves classification
of images into normal and malformed (if detected the tumor). The algorithm deals with
steps such as preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification of MR brain
images. Finally, the confirmatory step is specifying the tumor area by technique called
region of interest.
A Proxy signature scheme enables a proxy signer to sign a message on behalf of
the original signer. In this paper, we propose ECDLP based solution for chen et. al [1]
scheme. We describe efficient and secure Proxy multi signature scheme that satisfy all the
proxy requirements and require only elliptic curve multiplication and elliptic curve addition
which needs less computation overhead compared to modular exponentiations also our
scheme is withstand against original signer forgery and public key substitution attack.
This document proposes a digital watermarking technique using LSB replacement with secret key insertion for enhanced data security. The technique works by inserting a watermark into the least significant bits of pixels in an image. A secret key is also inserted during transmission for additional security. The watermarked image is generated without noticeably impacting image quality. The proposed method was tested on sample images and successfully embedded watermarks while maintaining visual quality. The technique aims to provide copyright protection and authentication of digital images and documents.
Today among various medium of data transmission or storage our sensitive data
are not secured with a third-party, that we used to take help of. Cryptography plays an
important role in securing our data from malicious attack. This paper present a partial
image encryption based on bit-planes permutation using Peter De Jong chaotic map for
secure image transmission and storage. The proposed partial image encryption is a raw data
encryption method where bits of some bit-planes are shuffled among other bit-planes based
on chaotic maps proposed by Peter De Jong. By using the chaotic behavior of the Peter De
Jong map the position of all the bit-planes are permuted. The result of the several
experimental, correlation analysis and sensitivity test shows that the proposed image
encryption scheme provides an efficient and secure way for real-time image encryption and
decryption.

algorithms for multiple ghost robots to attack the Pacman. On the hardware front, it
provides a challenge to integrate various systems to realize the game. This project aims to
demonstrate the pacman game in real world as well as in simulation. For simulation
purpose Player/Stage is used to develop single-client and multi-client architectures. The
multi- client architecture in player/stage uses one global simulation proxy to which all the
robot models are connected. This reduces the overhead to manage multiple robots proxy.
The single-client architecture enables only two robot models to connect to the simulation
proxy. Multi-client approach offers flexibility to add sensors to each port which will be used
distinctly by the client attached to the respective robot. The robots are named as Pacman
and Ghosts, which try to escape and attack respectively. Use of Network Camera has been
done to detect the global positions of the robots and data is shared through inter-process
communication.
In Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems, the visual contents of the
images in the database are took out and represented by multi-dimensional characteristic
vectors. A well known CBIR system that retrieves images by unsupervised method known
as cluster based image retrieval system. For enhancing the performance and retrieval rate
of CBIR system, we fuse the visual contents of an image. Recently, we developed two
cluster-based CBIR systems by fusing the scores of two visual contents of an image. In this
paper, we analyzed the performance of the two recommended CBIR systems at different
levels of precision using images of varying sizes and resolutions. We also compared the
performance of the recommended systems with that of the other two existing CBIR systems
namely UFM and CLUE. Experimentally, we find that the recommended systems
outperform the other two existing systems and one recommended system also comparatively
performed better in every resolution of image.
Information Systems and Networks are subjected to electronic attacks. When
network attacks hit, organizations are thrown into crisis mode. From the IT department to
call centers, to the board room and beyond, all are fraught with danger until the situation is
under control. Traditional methods which are used to overcome these threats (e.g. firewall,
antivirus software, password protection etc.) do not provide complete security to the system.
This encourages the researchers to develop an Intrusion Detection System which is capable
of detecting and responding to such events. This review paper presents a comprehensive
study of Genetic Algorithm (GA) based Intrusion Detection System (IDS). It provides a
brief overview of rule-based IDS, elaborates the implementation issues of Genetic Algorithm
and also presents a comparative analysis of existing studies.
Step by step operations by which we make a group of objects in which attributes
of all the objects are nearly similar, known as clustering. So, a cluster is a collection of
objects that acquire nearly same attribute values. The property of an object in a cluster is
similar to other objects in same cluster but different with objects of other clusters.
Clustering is used in wide range of applications like pattern recognition, image processing,
data analysis, machine learning etc. Nowadays, more attention has been put on categorical
data rather than numerical data. Where, the range of numerical attributes organizes in a
class like small, medium, high, and so on. There is wide range of algorithm that used to
make clusters of given categorical data. Our approach is to enhance the working on well-
known clustering algorithm k-modes to improve accuracy of algorithm. We proposed a new
approach named “High Accuracy Clustering Algorithm for Categorical datasets”.
Brain tumor is a malformed growth of cells within brain which may be
cancerous or non-cancerous. The term ‘malformed’ indicates the existence of tumor. The
tumor may be benign or malignant and it needs medical support for further classification.
Brain tumor must be detected, diagnosed and evaluated in earliest stage. The medical
problems become grave if tumor is detected at the later stage. Out of various technologies
available for diagnosis of brain tumor, MRI is the preferred technology which enables the
diagnosis and evaluation of brain tumor. The current work presents various clustering
techniques that are employed to detect brain tumor. The classification involves classification
of images into normal and malformed (if detected the tumor). The algorithm deals with
steps such as preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and classification of MR brain
images. Finally, the confirmatory step is specifying the tumor area by technique called
region of interest.
A Proxy signature scheme enables a proxy signer to sign a message on behalf of
the original signer. In this paper, we propose ECDLP based solution for chen et. al [1]
scheme. We describe efficient and secure Proxy multi signature scheme that satisfy all the
proxy requirements and require only elliptic curve multiplication and elliptic curve addition
which needs less computation overhead compared to modular exponentiations also our
scheme is withstand against original signer forgery and public key substitution attack.
This document proposes a digital watermarking technique using LSB replacement with secret key insertion for enhanced data security. The technique works by inserting a watermark into the least significant bits of pixels in an image. A secret key is also inserted during transmission for additional security. The watermarked image is generated without noticeably impacting image quality. The proposed method was tested on sample images and successfully embedded watermarks while maintaining visual quality. The technique aims to provide copyright protection and authentication of digital images and documents.
Today among various medium of data transmission or storage our sensitive data
are not secured with a third-party, that we used to take help of. Cryptography plays an
important role in securing our data from malicious attack. This paper present a partial
image encryption based on bit-planes permutation using Peter De Jong chaotic map for
secure image transmission and storage. The proposed partial image encryption is a raw data
encryption method where bits of some bit-planes are shuffled among other bit-planes based
on chaotic maps proposed by Peter De Jong. By using the chaotic behavior of the Peter De
Jong map the position of all the bit-planes are permuted. The result of the several
experimental, correlation analysis and sensitivity test shows that the proposed image
encryption scheme provides an efficient and secure way for real-time image encryption and
decryption.
This paper presents a survey of Dependency Analysis of Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) based systems. SOA presents newer aspects of dependency analysis due
to its different architectural style and programming paradigm. This paper surveys the
previous work taken on dependency analysis of service oriented systems. This study shows
the strengths and weaknesses of current approaches and tools available for dependency
analysis task in context of SOA. The main motivation of this work is to summarize the
recent approaches in this field of research, identify major issue and challenges in
dependency analysis of SOA based systems and motivate further research on this topic.
In this paper, proposed a novel implementation of a Soft-Core system using
micro-blaze processor with virtex-5 FPGA. Till now Hard-Core processors are used in
FPGA processor cores. Hard cores are a fixed gate-level IP functions within the FPGA
fabrics. Now the proposed processor is Soft-Core Processor, this is a microprocessor fully
described in software, usually in an HDL. This can be implemented by using EDK tool. In
this paper, developed a system which is having a micro-blaze processor is the combination
of both hardware & Software. By using this system, user can control and communicate all
the peripherals which are in the supported board by using Xilinx platform to develop an
embedded system. Implementing of Soft-Core process system with different peripherals like
UART interface, SPA flash interface, SRAM interface has to be designed using Xilinx
Embedded Development Kit (EDK) tools.
The article presents a simple algorithm to construct minimum spanning tree and

of termination. The complexity analysis and simulation results have also been included.
Wimax technology has reshaped the framework of broadband wireless internet
service. It provides the internet service to unconnected or detached areas such as east South
Africa, rural areas of America and Asia region. Full duplex helpers employed with one of
the relay stations selection and indexing method that is Randomized Distributed Space Time
are used to expand the coverage area of primary Wimax station. The basic problem was
identified at cell edge due to weather conditions (rain, fog), insertion of destruction because
of multiple paths in the same communication channel and due to interference created by
other users in that communication. It is impractical task for the receiver station to decode
the transmitted signal successfully at the cell edges, which increases the high packet loss and
retransmissions. But Wimax is a outstanding technology which is used for improving the
quality of internet service and also it offers various services like Voice over Internet
Protocol, Video conferencing and Multimedia broadcast etc where a little delay in packet
transmission can cause a big loss in the communication. Even setup and initialization of
another Wimax station nearer to each other is not a good alternate, where any mobile
station can easily handover to another base station if it gets a strong signal from other one.
But in rural areas, for few numbers of customers, installation of base station nearer to each
other is costlier task. In this review article, we present a scheme using R-DSTC technique to
choose and select helpers (relay nodes) randomly to expand the coverage area and help to
mobile station as a helper to provide secure communication with base station. In this work,
we use full duplex helpers for better utilization of bandwidth.
Radio Frequency identification (RFID) technology has become emerging
technique for tracking and items identification. Depend upon the function; various RFID
technologies could be used. Drawback of passive RFID technology, associated to the range
of reading tags and assurance in difficult environmental condition, puts boundaries on
performance in the real life situation [1]. To improve the range of reading tags and
assurance, we consider implementing active backscattering tag technology. For making
mobiles of multiple radio standards in 4G network; the Software Defined Radio (SDR)
technology is used. Restrictions in Existing RFID technologies and SDR technology, can be
eliminated by the development and implementation of the Software Defined Radio (SDR)
active backscattering tag compatible with the EPC global UHF Class 1 Generation 2 (Gen2)
RFID standard. Such technology can be used for many of applications and services.
