“…Because research in combustion affects the economy of many countries that produce and export fuel oil, security of findings and data is important. This requires reliable cloud security systems for collaboration [11]. In spite of the numerous projects to build computational kinetics and combustion infrastructures, not all of them were successful.…”

Combustion experiments and chemical kinetics simulations generate huge data that is computationally and data intensive. A cloud-based cyberinfrastructure known as CloudFlame is implemented to improve the computational efficiency, scalability and availability of data for combustion research. The architecture consists of an application layer, a communication layer and distributed cloud servers running in a mix environment of Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems. The application layer runs software such as CHEMKIN modeling application. The communication layer provides secure transfer/archive of kinetic, thermodynamic, transport and gas surface data using private/public keys between clients and cloud servers. A robust XML schema based on the Process Informatics Model (PrIMe) combined with a workflow methodology for digitizing; verifying and uploading data from scientific graphs/tables to PrIMe is implemented for chemical molecular structures of compounds. The outcome of using this system by combustion researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Clean Combustion Research Center and its collaborating partners indicated a significant improvement in efficiency in terms of speed of chemical kinetics and accuracy in searching for the right chemical kinetic data.

“…In their paper, they suggest a few strategies to overcome these security risks of cloud computing. Yildiz et al (2009) proposed a practical security model on the basis of key security considerations after looking at various infrastructure aspects of cloud computing. Yu et al (2010) propose a data access control scheme for cloud computing for simultaneously achieving fine-graininess, scalability and data confidentiality.…”

Security and availability risks have become one of the biggest challenges for firms that are transitioning into the cloud and for firms offering the cloud services as well. Security issues have gained prominence in recent years due to the unprecedented growth in Cloud computing service offerings and their adoption. An event of a security breach may impact investors' perceptions of a firm's value. In fact. prior studies have shown that information security breaches and countermeasures have a significant impact on the firm's stock price. Thus, publicly announcing breach and countermeasures is one way by which firms manage these issues related to cloud security. The focus ofthis paper is to use event study methodology to investigate how cloud security breach and countermeasures announcements affect the firm and its competitor's stock price. Our research shows that cloud security breach announcements have significant negative impact on the firms and its competitor's stock value. Surprisingly, cloud security countermeasure announcements have significant negative impact on the firm and the competitor's stock value.

“…In [17] Ertaul et al survey security challenges in cloud computing environment, while Chen et al identified two new facets to cloud computing security [18], namely "the complexities of multi-party trust considerations" and "the ensuring need for mutual auditability". [19] first identifies security concerns on multiple layers arising in cloud computing, and subsequently outlines a policybased security approach for cloud computing through defining security polices at various layers including networking, storage, systems management and applications.…”

Abstract-Cloud computing integrates data, applications, users and servers on a vast scale and enables a global optimization of computing resources. However, due to security threats from both outside and inside the cloud, security remains as a significant challenge and obstacle in the wide adoptions of cloud computing paradigms. To enhance the security of networks, applications and data in the cloud, this position paper proposes to develop a profiling-as-a-service architecture to characterize, understand and profile network traffic at multiple layers in the multi-tenant cloud computing environment: network routers, hypervisors, virtual instances and applications. The proposed architecture will not only provide an in-depth understanding on traffic patterns of cloud tenants, but also enhance the security of cloud computing by collaboratively detecting and filtering unwanted traffic towards cloud instances.
