Implementing cloud computing empowers numerous paths for Web-based service offerings to meet diverse needs. However, the data security and privacy has become a critical issue that restricts many cloud applications. One of the major concerns in security and privacy is caused by the fact that cloud operators have chances to reach the sensitive data. This concern dramatically increases users’ anxi...

The purpose of this paper is to present the design of a secure and more advanced authentication scheme for executing secure financial transactions over Internet. There has been continuous change in technology day by day, so security mechanisms like authentication schemes are also required to be updated. The security measures have very crucial role in banking and financial sector. For any intern...

Monitoring and Metering are essential activities for Service Oriented Infrastructures (SOI) and Cloud services. The information collected through monitoring is necessary to ensure the correct execution of the applications in the Cloud and the monitoring of the SLA compliance. This chapter will present the reasons and difficulties for monitoring and metering on Cloud infrastructures. The approac...

Cloud computing has become one of the fastest growing fields in computer science. As the new computing service pattern of cloud computing develops rapidly, the security problem of cloud computing has become a hot research topic. Before the user passes important data or computing task to the cloud, the user of the cloud may want to verify the trusted status of the platform which actually carries...

Today, cloud computing is an emerging way of computing in computer science. Cloud computing is a set of resources and services that are offered by the network or internet. Cloud computing extends various computing techniques like grid computing, distributed computing. Today cloud computing is used in both industrial field and academic field. Cloud facilitates its users by providing virtual reso...

Commercial cloud computing resources are rapidly becoming the target platform on which to perform scientific computation, due to the massive leverage possible and elastic pay-as-you-go pricing model. The cloud allows researchers and institutions to only provision compute when required, and to scale seamlessly as needed. The cloud computing paradigm therefore presents a low capital, low barrier ...

The purpose of this paper is to study how advances in cloud computing impact the processes of creating and running businesses over the tourism sector for small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan, and to identify the main factors that relate to the adoption of CRM cloud systems by SMEs. This study adopts two steps to build the structure of decision model with the analytic hierarchy process m...

: More number of users requires cloud services to transfer private data like electronic health records and financial transaction records. A cloud computing services offers several flavors of virtual machines to handle large scale datasets. But centralized approaches are difficult in handling of large datasets. Data anonymization is used for privacy preservation techniques. It is challenged to m...
