Intelligent multi agent system based solution for data protection in the cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing services have been adopted to provide the necessary tools and resources to face the emergence of data that needs to be stored and processed properly. However, these promising services, raise the issue of security and reliability in terms of data confidentiality, control and loss of intellectual property. In this work, we exploit the characteristics of multi agent systems to deliver an optimal and secure solution for data storage and exploration in the Cloud. Our solution is based on an encryption process before storage, while an intelligent multi agent system was designed and simulated to optimize the exploration of the data in a Cloud environment. Our architecture aims to use adaptive agents able to predict alerts, make decisions and block any intrusion.
