Comprehensive Mechanism for Various Active and Passive Attacks on Access Control and Data Confidentiality in Cloud Environment

Abstract

newline Cloud computing has many advantages such as ease of accessibility, newlinescalability, cost savings, storage immortality and disaster recovery etc. However, it is newlinehighly vulnerable to attacks and compromises the security and privacy of data. The newlineattacks are broadly classified as active and passive attacks. The existing methods newlinefocus on specific types of attacks. In this current research work, an attempt is made to newlineprovide a comprehensive mechanism for early detection and prevention of these newlineattacks. newlineThe proposed work is implemented in 3 layers of authentication and access control to newlinepreserve confidentiality of the information and to allow authenticate users only to newlineaccess the same. newlineKeywords: Cloud computing, Active and Passive Attacks, Authentication, Access newlineControl.
