“…A number of recent surveys focus on the identification of privacy concerns related to different cloud service models in terms of potential attacks that exploit the vulnerabilities of cloud technologies [1,14,17,19,26,47]. This paper extends the above by relating cloud threats and vulnerabilities to specific cloud quality properties that raise privacy concerns.…”

“…For example, [13] demonstrates that attackers can exploit data duplication techniques to access customer data by obtaining hash code of the stored file. Side-channel attack can instantiate new VMs of a target virtual machine so that the new VM can potentially monitor the cache hosted on the same physical machine as described in [14]. Other works focus on security and privacy attacks that may lead to a misuse of information or resources.…”

Bridging the gap between design and implementation stages has been a major concern of designers, analysts and developers of information systems and a major aspiration of a number of Information System (IS) engineering approaches. Cloud computing exacerbates the strain on traditional IS engineering approaches that service-oriented computing has started. At the same time, recent research has argued about the importance of security and privacy in a cloud environment and highlighted a number of security and privacy challenges that are not present in traditional environments and need special attention when implementing or migrating information systems into a cloud environment. This paper contributes to this direction. Specifically, it presents a number of privacy-related cloud properties that analysts need to consider when designing privacy-aware systems in a cloud environment. Also it indicates a number of implementation techniques that can assist developers in assuring the respective properties.

“…For instance, Pearson identify that privacy threats differ depending on the type of cloud scenario and lack of user control, potential unauthorized secondary usage, data proliferation are more dominate in public cloud [6]. Sidechannel attack can instantiate new VMs of a target virtual machine so that the new VM can potentially monitor the cache hosted on the same physical machine [7]. There are four possible places where faults can occur in cloud computing: provider-inner, provider-across, provider user and user-across [54].…”

Cloud computing is without a doubt one of the most significant innovations presented in the global technological map. This new generation of technology has the potential to positively change our lives since on the one hand it provides capabilities that make our digital lives much easier, than before, while on the other hand it assists developers in creating services that can be disseminated easier and faster, than before, and with significantly less cost.However, one of the major research challenges for the successful deployment of cloud services is a clear understanding of security and privacy issues on a cloud environment, since the cloud architecture has dissimilarities comparing to the traditional distributed systems.Such differences might introduce new threats and require different treatment of security and privacy issues. Nevertheless, current security and privacy requirements engineering techniques and methodologies have not been developed with cloud computing in mind and fail to capture the unique characteristics of such domain. It is therefore important to understand security and privacy within the context of cloud computing and identify relevant security and privacy properties and threats that will support techniques and methodologies aimed to analyze and design secure cloud based systems. The contribution of this paper to the literature is two-fold. Firstly, it provides a clear linkage between a set of critical cloud computing areas with security and privacy threats and properties. Secondly, it introduces a number of requirements for analysis and design methodologies to consider for security and privacy concerns in the cloud.3

Abstract:The Small and Medium Enterprises benefit now, due to the scale adoption of Cloud Computing, from an emerging market where they can associate and collaborate to form virtual enterprises or virtual clusters, aiming to compete with the large enterprises and provide tailored IT solutions for their customers. However the lack of standardization for the cloud services and technologies leads to a myriad of different components that cannot be easily set to work together in the absence of a real cloud governance solution. Cloud governance acts like a catalyst to allow Small and Medium Enterprises to easily manage and optimize their services infrastructure, and to facilitate collaboration in a clustered or virtual-enterprise environment. We have proposed a Cloud Governance architecture based on mOSAIC's multi-agent Cloud Management solution. The Cloud Governance solution relies on various datastores that are responsible with maintaining and managing a set of crucial data that are used during the cloud governance process . Our paper is focused to analyze and emphasize the requirements that must be fulfilled by different database systems in order to have a reliable storage system and also to suggest a concrete solution.
