– Chapter 5 discusses a neoteric model of a cryptosystem for cloud security by using symmetric key and artificial neural network with Mealy machine. A cryptosystem is used to provide data or information confidentiality and a state-based cryptosystem is implemented using Mealy machine. This chapter gives a detailed algorithm with results generated using Lenovo G80 with processor Intel® Pentium® CPU B950@210GHz and RAM 2GB and programming language Turbo C, DebC++ and disc drive SA 9500326AS ATA and Windows 7 Ultimate (32 Bits) OS.
– Chapter 6 describes the implementation of an effective intrusion detection system using ML techniques through various datasets. The chapter begins with a description of an intrusion detection system and how it is beneficial for cloud environment. Next, various intrusion attacks on cloud environment are described along with a comparative study. Finally, a proposed methodology of IDS in cloud environment is given along with implementation results.
– Chapter 7 beautifully describes text-based sentiment analysis for cloud security that extracts the mood of users in a cloud environment, which is an evolving topic in ML. A proposed model for text-based sentiment analysis is presented along with an experimental setup with implementation results. Since text-based sentiment analysis potentially identifies malicious users in a cloud environment, the chapter concludes with applications of this method and implementation for cloud security.
– Chapter 8 discusses zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) for cloud, which is a method for identifying legitimate users without revealing their identity. The ZKP consist of three parts: the first is ticket generator, the second is user, and the third is verifier. For example, to see a movie in a theater we purchase ticket. So, the theater counter is the ticket generator; and while purchasing a ticket here we generally don’t reveal our identifying information such as name, address or social security number. We are allowed to enter the theater when this ticket is verified at the gate, so, this is the verifier algorithm. This chapter also discusses ZKP for cloud security.
– Chapter 9 discusses an effective spam detection system for cloud security using supervised ML techniques. Spam, which is an unwanted message that contains malicious links, viral attachments, unwelcome images and misinformation, is a major security concern for any digital system and requires an effective spam detection system. Therefore, this chapter begins by discussing the requirements for such a system. Then, it gradually moves towards a supervised ML-technique-based spam detection system, mainly using a support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN). Implementation results are also given with application in cloud environment.
– Chapter 10 describes an intelligent system for securing network from intrusion detection and phishing attacks using ML approaches, with a focus on phishing attacks on the cloud environment. It begins by describing different fishing attacks on cloud environment and then proposes a method for detecting these attacks using ML. Next, analysis of different parameters for ML models, predictive outcome analysis in phishing URLs dataset, analysis of performance metrics and statistical analysis of results are presented.
Part III: Cloud Security Analysis Using Machine Learning Techniques
– Chapter 11 discusses cloud security using honeypot network and blockchain. It begins with an overview of cloud computing and then describes cloud computing deployment models and security concerns in cloud computing. Then the honeypot network and its system design are discussed, followed by the use of blockchain-based honeypot network. A good comparative analysis is given at the end of the chapter.
– Chapter 12 includes a survey on ML-based security in cloud database. The chapter starts with a discussion of the various ML techniques used to provide security in a cloud database. Then a study is presented which mainly consists of three parts: first, supervised learning methods, such as support vector machine (SVM), artificial neural network, etc., are given; second, unsupervised learning methods, such as K-means clustering, fuzzy C-means clustering, etc., are given; third, hybrid learning techniques, such as hybrid intrusion detection approach (HIDCC) in cloud computing, clustering-based hybrid model in deep learning framework, etc., are given. Comparative analyses are also given at the end.
– Chapter 13 provides a survey on ML-based adversarial attacks on cloud environment. The chapter starts with the concepts of adversarial learning followed by the taxonomy of adversarial attacks. Various algorithms found in the literature for ML-based adversarial attacks on cloud environment are also presented. Then, various studies on adversarial attacks on cloud-based platforms and their comparative studies are discussed.
– Chapter 14 provides a detailed study of the protocols used for cloud security. The chapter starts by discussing the system and adversarial models, and then the protocols for data protection in secure cloud computing are given followed by a discussion of the protocols for data protection in secure cloud storage. Finally, various protocols for secure cloud systems are discussed. The authors also attempt to give a futuristic view of the protocols that may be implemented for cloud security.
Part IV: Case Studies Focused on Cloud Security
– Chapter 15 is a detailed presentation of the Google cloud platform (GCP) and its security features. It begins by discussing GCP’s current market holdings and then describes the work distribution in GCP. Next, the chapter gradually moves towards a basic overview of security features in GCP and describes the GCP architecture along with its key security and application features. Then, an interesting part is presented that describes various computations used in GCP, followed by a discussion of the storage, network, data and ML policies used in GCP.
– Chapter 16 presents a case study of Microsoft Azure cloud and its security features. The beginning of the chapter covers Azure’s current market holdings and the Forrester Wave and Gartner Magic Quadrant reports. Then, the security infrastructure of Azure is given, which covers its security features and tools, Azure network security, data encryption used in Azure, asset and inventory management, and the Azure marketplace. Next, details of Azure cloud security architecture are presented along with its working and design principles, followed by the components and services of Azure architecture. The chapter ends with a discussion of its various features and why Azure is gaining popularity.
– Chapter 17 presents a case study on Nutanix hybrid cloud from a security perspective. Nutanix is a fast-growing hybrid cloud in the current scenario. The chapter begins with the growth of Nutanix and then presents introductory concepts about it. Next, Nutanix hybrid cloud architecture is discussed in relation to computation, storage and networking. Then, reinforcing AHV and controller VM are described, followed by disaster management and recovery used in Nutanix hybrid cloud. A detailed study on security and policy management in Nutanix hybrid cloud is then presented. The chapter concludes with a discussion of network security and log management in Nutanix hybrid cloud.
