Multi-Cloud Integration Security Framework Using Honeypots

Abstract

This rapidly changing digital world is always sensitive to improving security and resilience to protect the inhabitants of this ecosystem in terms of data, processes, repositories, communication, and functions. The transformation of this digital ecosystem is heavily dependent on cloud computing, as it is becoming the global platform for individuals, corporates, and even governments. Therefore, the concerns related to security are now linked closely with cloud computing. In this paper, a multi-cloud security framework takes a view on the development of security mechanisms to provide a diversion to the attacker. The purpose is to gain more time to analyze the attack and mitigate the intrusion without compromises. This mechanism is designed using the honeypot technology that has been around for some time but has not been used in cloud computing and other technologies. The proposed framework provides modules related to managing the multi-cloud platform, the intrusion detection and prevention system, and honeypots. The results show significant improvement in the accuracy of detecting attacks. These results are generated in a two-phase scenario, and the first phase has been analyzed without the engagement of the honeypot module presented in the framework. The second phase has been executed with same parameters and conditions by engaging the honeypot module. It includes a comparison taxonomy of both results and an in-depth study of existing honeypots, as well as critical design elements for current honeypot research and outstanding concerns for future honeypots in IoT, multi-cloud contexts.

Optimizing Resource Allocation Framework for Multi-Cloud Environment

“…It is important to analyze that an optimized decentralized multi-cloud is a more suitable and enhanced platform for resource providers in terms of financial gains, sharing, and performance improvement [26]. The same experiment is simulated again with the inclusion of identified parameters and a proposed framework to analyze the impact of optimization on the cooperation of resource providers.…”

A cryptographic security framework for hybrid Cloud‐Internet of Things network

“…This enhances the algorithm's mathematical intricacy, as well as cryptanalysis. In the comparison we have selected the best and highest secure algorithms viz, Dubal et al, 33 Ren et al, 30 Kumar et al, 34 Zhu et al, 32 Subasree et al, 31 TCHA et al 35 and we are comparing our system with them in terms of various parameters. Different sorts of keys are utilized in our proposed system, such as secret keys, public keys, and private keys.…”

“…Alyas et al 30 In their paper they presented, a multi‐cloud security architecture that offers a perspective on the creation of security tools that can divert an attacker. The goal aims to prolong overall period of time available for analysis of the incident and compromise‐free mitigation of the intrusion.…”
