Cloud Slicing a new architecture for cloud security monitoring

Abstract

Cloud computing has become one of the popular terms in academia and IT industry. The security of the cloud computing infrastructure is the main concern to adopt it. Despite this concern, cloud providers do not disclose any information about their security precautions. Therefore, a provider's clients cannot be certain that their applications are protected while they are in cloud. Furthermore, clients are not granted access to the network level of the system to implement any of their own security features. In this paper we propose a new model we are naming Cloud Slicing. Cloud Slicing uses a technique called logical partitioning, to divide a cloud servers resources. By doing this division, clients on a server can safely implement their own network security features to reassure themselves, and their customers, that the applications are protected.
