A distributed cloud-prevents attacks and preserves user privacy

Abstract

In today's “era of Tera”, everything is possible in terms of storage and service. The long-held dream of computing as a utility has been achieved in the form of cloud computing. It has transformed the world where large part of IT industry is simplified by Platform as a Service, Software's are developed and rented more attractively in the form of Development as a Service, Software as a Service. It has shaped the IT industry with its Infrastructure as a Service. When all such services are provided to client on demand, security becomes a major concern. Since Cloud is a Data Centre there are conceivable chances of attacks on it. Cloud behaves like a group of interconnected systems since it is run on the backdrop through Distributed systems. Various attacks like DOS, DDOS, Malware Injection attack, Man-In-The-Middle attacks are possible. This paper discusses various Mining attacks that are possible on a Cloud and provides a solution by using a Secure Distributed approach. We use WEKA to predict the patterns in a single cloud and by using Cloud Data Distributor with a secure distributed approach we provide an effective solution that prevents such mining attacks on Cloud thus making the Cloud a secure platform for service and storage.
