Elliptic Curve Cryptography in Cloud Computing Security
Elliptic curve cryptography in cloud computing security Manu Gopinathan ([email protected]) Øyvind Nygard ([email protected]) Kjetil Aune([email protected]) December 1st, 2015 1 Abstract Cloud computing is a technological advancement that has been growing swiftly during the last decade. In simple terms, cloud computing is a technology that enables shared, remote, on-demand and ubiquitous access to services through the Internet. It enables consumers to access applications and services that reside on remote servers, without having to allocate large amounts of storage space on their own computer and without the need for extensive compatibility configurations. Many such cloud applications provide services that are meant to handle sensitive user data and thus the protection of this data in terms of access and integrity is of major concern. Space- and time complexity of encryption algorithms can prove to be imperative when it comes to system performance. In this paper we will briefly present how elliptic curve cryptography (EEC) works, and then describe the advantages of it and how it can be used as an encryption solution to security related issues in cloud computing. 2 Introduction In this section we will briefly describe the notion of cloud computing to aid us in the discussion of ECC in cloud computing later. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), essential characteristics for a service based on the cloud computing model are [1]: 1. On-demand self-service: The consumer can provision service capabilities, such as server time and network storage, without actively interacting with the service provider. 2. -

For example, E-learning, cloud computing, social networking, virtual laboratories, virtual realities, virtual worlds, massive open online courses (MOOCs), and bring your own device (BYOD) are all new concepts of immersive and global education that have emerged in educational literature. One of the greatest challenges presented to e-learning solutions is the reproduction of the benefits of an educational institution’s physical laboratory. For a university without a computing lab, to obtain hands-on IT training with software, operating systems, networks, servers, storage, and cloud computing similar to that which could be received on a university campus computing lab, it is necessary to use a combination of technological tools. Such teaching tools must promote the transmission of knowledge, encourage interaction and collaboration, and ensure students obtain valuable hands-on experience. -

Enhancing Bittorrent-Like Peer-To-Peer Content Distribution with Cloud Computing
ENHANCING BITTORRENT-LIKE PEER-TO-PEER CONTENT DISTRIBUTION WITH CLOUD COMPUTING A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Zhiyuan Peng IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE Haiyang Wang November 2018 © Zhiyuan Peng 2018 Abstract BitTorrent is the most popular P2P file sharing and distribution application. However, the classic BitTorrent protocol favors peers with large upload bandwidth. Certain peers may experience poor download performance due to the disparity between users’ upload/download bandwidth. The major objective of this study is to improve the download performance of BitTorrent users who have limited upload bandwidth. To achieve this goal, a modified peer selection algorithm and a cloud assisted P2P network system is proposed in this study. In this system, we dynamically create additional peers on cloud that are dedicated to boost the download speed of the requested user. i Contents Abstract ............................................................................................................................................. i List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ iv 1 Introduction .............................................................................................................................. 1 2 Background ............................................................................................................................. -

Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Computer Science 70 ( 2015 ) 16 – 28 4th International Conference on Eco-friendly Computing and Communication Systems, ICECCS 2015 A Complete Survey on Software Architectural Styles and Patterns Anubha Sharmaa*,Manoj Kumarb, Sonali Agarwalc a,b,cIndian Institute of Information Technology,Allahabad 211012,India Abstract Software bought revolutionary change making entrepreneurs fortunate enough to make money in less time with least effort and correct output. SDLC (Software development life cycle) is responsible for software’s reliability, performance, scalability, functionality and maintainability. Although all phases of SDLC have their own importance but Software architecture serves as the foundation for other phases of SDLC. Just like sketch of a building helps constructor to correctly construct the building, software architecture helps software developer to develop the software properly. There are various styles available for software architecture. In this paper, clear picture of all important software architecture styles are presented along with recent advancement in software architecture and design phases. It could be helpful for a software developer to select an appropriate style according to his/her project’s requirement. An architectural style must be chosen correctly to get its all benefits in the system. All the architectural styles are compared on the basis of various quality attributes. This paper also specifies the application area, advantages and disadvantages of each architectural style. © 20152015 The The Authors. Authors. Published Published by byElsevier Elsevier B.V. B.V.

Innovative Feedback System Based on Ibm Bluemix Cloud Service
INNOVATIVE FEEDBACK SYSTEM BASED ON IBM BLUEMIX CLOUD SERVICE P.P.N.G. Phani Kumar1, N. Anil Chakravarthy2, D.V.S.Ravi Varma3, M.Y.V.Nagesh4 1,2,3,4 Assistant Professor, Department of CSE, Raghu Engineering College, Visakhapatnam, (India). ABSTRACT Getting the right feedback at right time is most important for any organization or an institution. Getting the feedback from the users will help an organization or institution to provide better services to the users or students. Ongoing interaction with users can improve the efficiency of an organization and enable them to provide better service to the users. Until now, several feedback systems are in use which are mostly manual. We propose an efficient feedback system using cloud based computing to generate the report of the faculty performance. In the proposed system all the activities will be done by the use of cloud application Platform as a Service, through the use of IBM Bluemix.
