IaaS-cloud security enhancement: an intelligent attribute-based access control model and implementation
The cloud computing paradigm introduces an efficient utilisation of huge computing
resources by multiple users with minimal expense and deployment effort
compared to traditional computing facilities. Although cloud computing has incredible
benefits, some governments and enterprises remain hesitant to transfer
their computing technology to the cloud as a consequence of the associated security
challenges. Security is, therefore, a significant factor in cloud computing
adoption. Cloud services consist of three layers: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform
as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Cloud computing
services are accessed through network connections and utilised by multi-users who
can share the resources through virtualisation technology. Accordingly, an efficient
access control system is crucial to prevent unauthorised access.
This thesis mainly investigates the IaaS security enhancement from an access
control point of view. [Continues.
