Cloud computing has been attracting the attention of several researchers both in the academia and the industry as it provides many opportunities for organizations by offering a range of computing services. For cloud computing to become…
The concept of cloud computing was introduced to meet the increase in demand for new application for a project, and to provide a large storage facility whenever or wherever a user needs it. The cloud system facility helped many industries…
In this paper, we introduce a data capsule model, a self-contained and self-enforcing data container based on emerging self-sovereign identity standards, blockchain, and attribute-based encryption. A data capsule allows for a transparent,…
Cloud storage provides the simpler way to share the files privately and publicly. A good Cloud Storage Provider (SCP) is not only measured by the access speed or file size that can be shared to others, but also regarding the security issues…
P2P systems provide a scalable solution for distributing large files in a network. The file is split into many chunks, and peers contact other peers to collect missing chunks to eventually complete the entire file. The so-called `rare…
Cloud computing represents a major shift in information systems architecture, combining both new deployment models and new business models. Rapid provisioning, elastic scaling, and metered usage are essential characteristics of cloud…
This paper sketches the challenges to address to realise a support able to achieve an Ephemeral Cloud Federation, an innovative cloud computing paradigm that enables the exploitation of a dynamic, personalised and context-aware set of…
As demand for more storage and processing power increases rapidly, cloud services in general are becoming more ubiquitous and popular. This, in turn, is increasing the need for developing highly sophisticated mechanisms and governance to…
In order to determine the user's trust is a growing concern for ensuring privacy and security in a cloud computing environment. In cloud, user's data is stored in one or more remote server(s) which poses more security challenges for the…
While personal cloud storage services such as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive and iCloud have become very popular in recent years, these services offer few security guarantees to users. These cloud services are aimed at end users, whose…
In shared-memory concurrent programming, shared resources can be protected using synchronization mechanisms such as monitors or channels. The connection between these mechanisms and the resources they protect is, however, only given…
Cloud computing has achieved great success in modern IT industry as an excellent computing paradigm due to its flexible management and elastic resource sharing. To date, cloud computing takes an irrepalceable position in our socioeconomic…
Cloud Computing is a new era of remote computing / Internet based computing where one can access their personal resources easily from any computer through Internet. Cloud delivers computing as a utility as it is available to the cloud…
Bolted is a new architecture for bare-metal clouds that enables tenants to control tradeoffs between security, price, and performance. Security-sensitive tenants can minimize their trust in the public cloud provider and achieve similar…
Using public cloud services for storing and sharing confidential data requires end users to cryptographically protect both the data and the access to the data. In some cases, the identity of end users needs to remain confidential against…
In this paper, we introduce PASSAT, a practical system to boost the security assurance delivered by the current cloud architecture without requiring any changes or cooperation from the cloud service providers. PASSAT is an application…
The base motivation of Mobile Cloud Computing was empowering mobile devices by application offloading onto powerful cloud resources. However, this goal can't entirely be reached because of the high offloading cost imposed by the long…
The internet faces a sovereignty crisis due to power concentration and data growth among a few hyperscalers, leading to centralization and loss of user control. This consolidation risks censorship and creates single points of failure. While…
Access control is an important component for web services such as a cloud. Current clouds tend to design the access control mechanism together with the policy language on their own. It leads to two issues: (i) a cloud user has to learn…
Public infrastructure-as-a-service clouds, such as Amazon EC2, Google Compute Engine (GCE) and Microsoft Azure allow clients to run virtual machines (VMs) on shared physical infrastructure. This practice of multi-tenancy brings economies of…
