“…In the paper [43], which was dedicated to security threats in cloud computing, the authors presented the problem of the XSW attack, in addition to the security issues of browsers and provider lockout. Four categories of such attacks are listed: simple ancestry context attacks, optional element context attacks, sibling value context attacks and sibling older context.…”

Supporting the execution of transactions through the use of electronic documents requires security. The scope of this security primarily involves ensuring the integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation of the origin of information. The signed XML document is a powerful tool that ensures the above features and the ease of processing and integration with various systems. An XML document may have many signatures, and each of them may sign different parts of the document. This feature is highly attractive, but in order to use it, the signature and structure of the document must be carefully designed. This article presents the existing risks associated with the use of XML signatures, focusing on XML signature wrapping vulnerability. This vulnerability is a consequence of the relationship between the XML signature and the signed document. The authors suggest that without neglecting the need for protection against the possibility of moving and replacing a fragment of the document, the use of secure XML signature references should also be considered and applied. The article proposes the use of secure signature templates as a countermeasure against the threat of an improper indication of the signed content defined in the signature reference. This threat is serious in automatic signature processing, where it is important to correctly indicate the signed content.

In this paper an efficient secure cloud computing framework has been developed. This framework consists of data grouping based on fuzzy c-means (FCM). It has been used for the individual and associative rankings of uploaded text data on the cloud. For the decision selection ranking of the data simple additive weighting (SAW) method have been used. For data security RC6, RSA and AES algorithms have been used collectively and individually based on the condition. RC6, AES and RSA algorithms have been used as a combination for the complex key security. Based on the decision performance rankingtop higher rank which supports are >=50% adopted all the three security algorithms, only one key is applied for the remaining data. The maximum number of keys applied is 5 but there are total three key variants mainly applicable. So we have considered three keys. It has been clear from our results that the keys spreading are automatically increased on the basis of number of files. So in case of high risk the keys are increased automatically and applied.

“…Alshammari A et al [7] discussed many important and latest issues in cloud computing and showed that Cloud Computing has emerged as a new paradigm of computing that builds on the foundations of Distributed Computing, Grid Computing, and Virtualization. Cloud computing is Internet-accessible business model with flexible resource allocation on demand, and computing on a pay-per-use as utilities.…”

“…The integration of healthcare with the Internet and smart technologies has led to increased accessibility to healthcare providers, more efficient processes and higher quality of healthcare services [6]. With the advancement of Information Technology, current healthcare systems are being transformed from traditional scenario that requires manual care and monitoring to more advanced scenario where patients can be automatically monitored [7]. The 21st century Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) has created the ability to electronically store, maintains, and move data across the world in a matter of seconds and has the potential to provide healthcare with tremendous increasing productivity and quality of services.…”

Now-a-days cloud computing is a prominent way of providing resources and services in very secure manner. Gradually more and more organizations, companies and industries are picking up cloud technology for the safe keeping of their data. The objective of this work is to apply cloud service in healthcare system by building a practical patient health record (PHR) application and deploying it in the cloud. The system is ‘doctor-centric’ health record portal where only the doctor or hospital authority is responsible for securing their patients’ health data and this labor-free, paperless system is giving relief to the doctors and hospital authorities from various error-prone traditional health record keeping systems. Jelastic cloud is used to provide cloud service to the developed application which provides security, scalability, quality of service and ease of maintenance of the application. Jelastic cloud also provides load balancing whenever the user load is high. We are developing an interactive PHR application which is dynamically storing, creating, modifying and maintaining data and deploying it in the Jelastic CloudJiffy server by the use of InMotion Hosting server. CloudJiffy is India based fully redundant, high performance and scalable cloud “Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)” under Jelastic Cloud Union. The whole system will be an efficient way for safe keeping Patients’ health records, their medical history and sensitive health information in a pervasive, confidential manner. The system is highly compatible for preserving medical records of eminent persons of our society and for those whose health information must be kept confidential in a highly secure way.
