Security Essentials of Cloud Computing - A Research Based Guide

The presented book is entirely based on the research on various components of cloud computing operations and the existing cloud service models. Security is still most important concern worldwide and in this book we discussed the existing security threats and security services for the cloud .We also provided research based data of major security attacks on cloud environment with its attack surface and behavior. The security analysis of major attack surfaces are analyzed and presented a concise report that could be useful for both end users and cloud service provider. The book also covers a complete overview of Cloud Computing Architecture with a strong and lucid background and the concept related to cloud network and computing. We have analyzed and discussed various widely used hyper-visors, network and transportation protocols, encryption protocols with their security breaches in detail. Currently the cloud network and computing is the part of CS curriculum of UG, PG, and engineering courses. So this book will prove equally beneficial for the students of UG, PG and Research.
