Collaboration in Multicloud Computing Environments Framework and Security Issues

Project Abstract / Summary : A proposed proxy-based multicloud computing framework allows dynamic, on the fly collaborations and resource sharing among cloud-based services, addressing trust, policy, and privacy issues without preestablished collaboration agreements or standardized interfaces. The recent surge in cloud computing arises from its ability to provide software, infrastructure, and platform services without requiring large investments or expenses to manage and operate them. Clouds typically involve service providers, infrastructure/resource providers, and service users (or clients). They include applications delivered as services, as well as the hardware and software systems providing these services.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : Because Java is the present trending pop language and cloud computing is latest addition to user data sharing and mining. Cloud computing characteristics include a ubiquitous (network-based) access channel; resource pooling; multitenancy; automatic and elastic provisioning and release of computing capabilities; and metering of resource usage (typically on a pay-per-use basis). Virtualization of resources such as processors, network, memory, and storage ensures scalability and high availability of computing capabilities. Clouds can dynamically provision these virtual resources to hosted applications or to clients that use them to develop their own applications or to store data. Rapid provisioning and dynamic reconfiguration of resources help cope with variable demand and ensure optimum resource utilization.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

Many existing cloud data services provide similar access control models, in which individual and organizational privacy, a key requirement for digital identity management, is unprotected. Also, with cloud computing initiatives, the scope of insider threats, a major source of data theft and privacy breaches, is no longer limited to the organizational perimeter. Multicloud environments exacerbate these issues because proxies can access data (which the environment might dynamically move or partition across different clouds) on behalf of clients. Revealing sensitive information in identity attributes to proxies that grant them authorization to access the data on behalf of clients is not an attractive solution. Thus, assuring the private and consistent management of information relevant to ABAC becomes more complex in multicloud systems.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
Our proposed framework for generic cloud collaboration allows clients and cloud applications to simultaneously use services from and route data among multiple clouds. This framework supports universal and dynamic collaboration in a multicloud system. It lets clients simultaneously use services from multiple clouds without prior business agreements among cloud providers, and without adopting common standards and specifications. As more organizations adopt cloud computing, cloud service providers (CSPs) are developing new technologies to enhance the cloud’s capabilities. Cloud mashups are a recent trend; mashups combine services from multiple clouds into a single service or application, possibly with on-premises (client-side) data and services. This service composition lets CSPs offer new functionalities to clients at lower development costs.
