Accountability and Security in the Cloud by Massimo Felici,Carmen Fernández-Gago Pdf

The First A4Cloud Summer School has been one of the first events in the area of accountability and security in the cloud. It was organized by the EU-funded A4Cloud project, in collaboration with the European projects CIRRUS, Coco Cloud, CUMULUS, and SPECS. Cloud computing is a key technology that is being adopted progressively by companies and users across different application domains and industries. Yet, there are emerging issues such as security, privacy, and data protection. The 13 contributions included in this volume cover the state of the art and provide research insights into the following topics: accountability in the cloud; privacy and transparency in the cloud; empirical approaches for the cloud; socio-legal aspects of the cloud; cloud standards; and the accountability glossary of terms and definitions.

Data Privacy and Trust in Cloud Computing by Theo Lynn,John G. Mooney,Lisa van der Werff,Grace Fox Pdf

This open access book brings together perspectives from multiple disciplines including psychology, law, IS, and computer science on data privacy and trust in the cloud. Cloud technology has fueled rapid, dramatic technological change, enabling a level of connectivity that has never been seen before in human history. However, this brave new world comes with problems. Several high-profile cases over the last few years have demonstrated cloud computing's uneasy relationship with data security and trust. This volume explores the numerous technological, process and regulatory solutions presented in academic literature as mechanisms for building trust in the cloud, including GDPR in Europe. The massive acceleration of digital adoption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is introducing new and significant security and privacy threats and concerns. Against this backdrop, this book provides a timely reference and organising framework for considering how we will assure privacy and build trust in such a hyper-connected digitally dependent world. This book presents a framework for assurance and accountability in the cloud and reviews the literature on trust, data privacy and protection, and ethics in cloud computing.

Accountability and Privacy in Network Security by Yuxiang Ma,Yulei Wu,Jingguo Ge Pdf

This book discusses accountability and privacy in network security from a technical perspective, providing a comprehensive overview of the latest research, as well as the current challenges and open issues. Further, it proposes a set of new and innovative solutions to balance privacy and accountability in networks in terms of their content, flow and service, using practical deep learning techniques for encrypted traffic analysis and focusing on the application of new technologies and concepts. These solutions take into account various key components (e.g. the in-network cache) in network architectures and adopt the emerging blockchain technique to ensure the security and scalability of the proposed architectures. In addition, the book examines in detail related studies on accountability and privacy, and validates the architectures using real-world datasets. Presenting secure and scalable solutions that can detect malicious behaviors in the network in a timely manner without compromising user privacy, the book offers a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and engineers working in the fields of network architecture and cybersecurity.

Challenges in the IoT and Smart Environments by Reza Montasari,Hamid Jahankhani,Haider Al-Khateeb Pdf

This book is an invaluable reference for those operating within the fields of Cyber Security, Digital Forensics, Digital Policing, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem presents a wide range of consumer, infrastructure, organisational, industrial and military applications. The IoT technologies such as intelligent health-connected devices; unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); smart grids; cyber-physical and cyber-biological systems; and the Internet of Military/Battlefield Things offer a myriad of benefits both individually and collectively. For example, implantable devices could be utilised to save or enhance patients’ lives or offer preventative treatments. However, notwithstanding its many practical and useful applications, the IoT paradigm presents numerous challenges spanning from technical, legal and investigative issues to those associated with security, privacy and ethics. Written by internationally-renowned experts in the field, this book aims to contribute to addressing some of these challenges. Lawyers, psychologists and criminologists could also find this book a very valuable resource at their disposal, and technology enthusiasts might find the book interesting. Furthermore, the book is an excellent advanced text for research and master’s degree students as well as undergraduates at their final years of studies in the stated fields.

Cloud information accountability. An overview by Prem Jose Vazhacharickal,Sunil K. Joseph,Abhiram Vijayan Pdf

Scientific Study from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Science - Applied, grade: 1,5, Mar Augusthinose College, language: English, abstract: Provable data possession (PDP) is a technique for ensuring the integrity of data in storage outsourcing. In this scheme, we address the construction of an efficient PDP scheme for distributed cloud storage to support the scalability of service and data migration, in which we consider the existence of multiple cloud service providers to cooperatively store and maintain the clients’ data. We present a cooperative PDP (CPDP) scheme based on homomorphic verifiable response and hash index hierarchy. We prove the security of our scheme based on multi-prover zero-knowledge proof system, which can satisfy completeness, knowledge soundness, and zero-knowledge properties. In addition, we articulate performance optimization mechanisms for our scheme, and in particular present an efficient method for selecting optimal parameter values to minimize the computation costs of clients and storage service providers. Our experiments show that our solution introduces lower computation and communication overheads in comparison with non-cooperative approaches. Using MR-PDP to store treplicas is computationally much more efficient than using a single-replica PDP scheme to store t separate, unrelated files (e.g., by encrypting each file separately prior to storing it). Another advantage of MR-PDP is that it can generate further replicas on demand, at little expense, when some of the existing replicas fail. The generation of replicas is on demand by the user’s request that is based on the security choice selected by the user at the time of file upload. The user can choose three options Low, Medium, High at the time of file upload. The uploaded file is divided in to N blocks of different sizes to achieve the efficiency in storage and is also used to improve security, here N represent the number of clouds we are using. Low means the file is divided into N blocks (here 3), and each block is stored in N different location of the single cloud. Medium means the file is divided into N blocks and each block is stored in N different clouds which improves the security of data but reduce the availability. High means the file is divided into N blocks and each N block is stored in N different clouds that are we are keeping the replicas of file in N different clouds. The system maintains a download count to dynamically create the replicas in accordance with the users demand.
