“…Particularly, several works which are addressing the security concern of the swift component of OpenStack are discussed. Generally and as has been individually mentioned in the presentation of each work, enhancing the security mechanism of swift has lacked to provide comprehensiveness (Hala et al, 2013;Albaroodi et al, 2014a;2014b). These lacks were identified to by ranging from securing the identity, access control, passwords, protecting the data, to the protecting of the authentication and authorization process.…”

Despite the numerous potential benefits of Open Source Cloud Computing (OSCC) in several industrial and academic-oriented environments, OSCC could be also associated with some risks. However, which a proper awareness to the cloud consumers or organisations, these risks can be clearly identify and avoided. OpenStack Swift security can provide a greater understanding of how OpenStack Swift functions and what types of security issues arise therein. In this study, a lightweight and robust cloud-based security model for OpenStack object storage within a cloud computing environment is proposed. Swift is a multiuser based model in which every owner encrypts her/his files; each owner uses different levels of cryptographic security. A reduction in the key distribution complexity in this diverse model with a variety of security based settings is critical. Note that proposed model incorporates cryptographic algorithms at the first level (authentication/authorisation) and a hash function to introduce a more secure access method for authentication and authorisation.

“…Recently, a strong interaction between cloud computing and Open Source Software (OSS) has been demonstrated by the announcement of several Open Source Cloud Computing (OSCC) projects, such as OpenStack, OpenNebula, Hadoop and CloudStack (Rodriguez-Martinez et al, 2010;Hala et al, 2013;.…”
