Enhanced Cloud Security Implementation using Modified ECC Algorithm

Cloud computing is a distributed environment that encompasses thousands of computers that work in parallel to perform a task in lesser time than the traditional computing models. This parallelism enables the low cost virtualization of hardware resources with increased computational performances. Cloud computing provides tremendous opportunity for small and medium scale enterprises to grow their business using IT services with zero deployment cost. Whenever, a task is distributed over web, there encounters a series of potential threats that challenges the security of data such as buffer overflow, session hijacking and black hole attacks. A cloud computing based services also face such kinds of security issues where applications deployed on cloud can face same kind of attacks as that on client server model. Storage as a Service SaaS based applications are vulnerable to virus attacks .Online operating systems are available on cloud to the user for free .Viruses can spread as attachments of email, of part of the software or can stay in Master Boot Record MBR of the operating system available on cloud. Worms residing on one system in cloud can migrate to another system on its own. Trojan horse is software with wrong intentions. Thus the present system needs an effective mechanism to address the problem encountered in cloud computing. R. Dhiviya | K.
