CIDS: A Framework for Intrusion Detection in Cloud Systems

Abstract

By impersonating legitimate users, intruders can use the abundant resources of cloud computing environments. This paper develops a framework for "CIDS" a cloud based intrusion detection system, to solve the deficiencies of current IDSs. CIDS also provides a component to summarize the alerts and inform the cloud administrator. CIDS architecture is scalable and elastic with no central coordinator. This paper describes the components, architecture, detection models, and advantages of CIDS.
