Cloud Computing is a new paradigm for the IT industry. IT services such as infrastructures, platforms and applications are provided remotely, over the Internet, and all resources are virtualized. Challenges about confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, and nonrepudiation are still opened representing the main concerns that reduces the growth of cloud computing. Hash based mechanisms are thus mainly used for message authentication and this paper analyses imposed security issues over clouds. To this end, recently developed semantically enhanced Cyber Security Model (CSM) is extended representing a promising solution capable to address all issues of heterogeneity, shared parties and different interests over clouds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
