Cybersecurity of cloud services is extremely important, especially when developing web services and cloud apps. Cloud computing depends on internet connections; therefore, the security of its services is constantly under attack. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a malicious attempt to damage the normal traffic of the targeted cloud by flooding it with internet traffic. As a result, this causes a serious problem for cloud computing security. The objectives of this paper are, to introduce a new cybersecurity approach for protecting cloud services against all types of DDoS attacks, to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, and to use the contribution of correlation coefficient analysis for validating the effectiveness of the proposed approach by identifying the relationship between malicious and legitimate traffic. The researcher evaluated the performance of the proposed approach in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The feedback of the experiments was highly promising for protecting cloud services against DDoS Attacks. The experiments showed encouraging results for preventing DDoS attacks, with an average performance of 95.41%, an average accuracy of 96.53%, an average sensitivity of 92.31%, and an average specificity of 97.39%.

Denial‐of‐service (DoS) attacks are one of the major security challenges in the emerging cloud computing models. Currently, numerous types of DoS attacks are conducted against the various cloud services and resources, which target their availability, service level agreements, and performance. This paper presents an in‐depth study of the various types of the DoS attacks proposed for the cloud computing environment and classifies them based on the cloud components or services, which they target. Besides, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the vulnerabilities utilized in these DoS attacks and investigates about the state‐of‐the‐art solutions presented in the literature to prevent, detect, or deal with each kind of DoS attacks in the cloud. Finally, it presents open research issues. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…These services can be accessible over a cloud management interface layer, which provides access over Representational State Transfer (REST)/Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or a management console website (Andrey Petukhov 2008;Doroodchi et al 2009;Gruschka and Iacono 2009;Antunes and Vieira 2011;Mainka et al 2012;Falkenberg et al 2013;Blome et al 2013;Zhou and Evans 2014;Prabadevi and Jeyanthi 2014;Kupser et al 2015;Subashini and Kavitha 2011;Masood and Java 2015;Fett et al 2015). Therefore, in addition to the existing security issues for traditional setting such as access control, secure communication, data confidentiality, integrity, availability, and privacy cloud systems bring new cloud specific security challenges (Ardagna et al 2015).…”

The concept of cloud computing offers measurable computational or information resources as a service over the Internet. The major motivation behind the cloud setup is economic benefits, because it assures the reduction in expenditure for operational and infrastructural purposes. To transform it into a reality there are some impediments and hurdles which are required to be tackled, most profound of which are security, privacy and reliability issues. As the user data is revealed to the cloud, it departs the protection-sphere of the data owner. However, this brings partly new security and privacy concerns. This work focuses on these issues related to various cloud services and deployment models by spotlighting their major challenges. While the classical cryptography is an ancient discipline, modern cryptography, which has been mostly developed in the last few decades, is the subject of study which needs to be implemented so as to ensure strong security and privacy mechanisms in today's real-world scenarios. The technological solutions, short and long term research goals of the cloud security will be described and addressed using various classical cryptographic mechanisms as well as modern ones. This work explores the new directions in cloud computing security, while highlighting the correct selection of these fundamental technologies from cryptographic point of view.
