“…For SSL, an adversary will only need to have a symmetric key, so he/she can cause replay attacks whereas in the mechanism proposed for cloud systems in [9], an adversary will need to have a ticket and a session key. This can be done exceeding and surpassing the protection supplied by cryptographic algorithms.…”

Cloud Computing has attracted a lot of attention in both academia and industry lately. With its focus on scaling, collaboration, agility, availability and cost reduction, cloud computing offers a compelling alternative to in-house IT solutions. However, by "outsourcing" the computing infrastructure, it introduces a number of security issues. Specifically, since cloud computing is a shared computing platform, it needs to provide strong mechanisms for authenticating it's users and ensuring that no confidential information stored on the cloud is compromised. This paper addresses a number of vulnerabilities in existing authentication mechanisms and proposes enhancements to mitigate these vulnerabilities. In addition, the paper studies how these enhancements affect performance. The results show that the existing vulnerabilities can be overcome by the proposed mechanisms. However, this results, in the worst case, in a six-fold increase in execution time. This can be considered relatively small when security is prime important.

“…While outsourcing information to a cloud storage controlled by a cloud service provider relives an information owner of tackling instantaneous oversight and management needs, a significant issue of retaining the control of that information to the information owner still needs to be solved [19]. It is difficult for companies and private users to keep at all times in control the information or data they entrust to Cloud suppliers.…”

Cyber security is a major concern to cloud service vendors, social networks, money transfer services and mostly the user. Lack of cyber security causes losses to companies and even death to new social media users. Without cyber security, cloud adoption becomes a problem because the user is not satisfied of the safety of his/her information in cloud storage. Many companies have adopted the cloud computing system to improve on their storage facilities and save on the cost of buying the hardware. Cloud computing services are efficient to the user and he/she can easily retrieve information with any device connected to the internet. Using the cloud computing services, however, comes with challenges. It is can be attacked by hackers to be used to their advantage, just like other internet provided services. The paper will use a pragmatic approach to compare company performance on those adopted to cloud computing and those that still use traditional methods of storing data along with the importance of cyber security to the government and the public.

Cloud computing has become one of the most demanding services over the internet. It has gained remarkable fame for past few years.But it is under the severe threats of internet security. One of the severe threats is Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). DDoS occurs when a huge amount of packets are sent to a server from various computers. Botnet is one of the major causes that launch DDoS attack. Botnet is actually a network of bots or zombie computers that are under the control of attacker. Several techniques are available in the literature that provides solution to avoid DDoS attack.A survey on DDoS detection and prevention techniques and their comparative analysishave been done in this paper.
