Beside its advantages, cloud computing has its own major disadvantages which is obstructing in moving cloud to vogue. Major concern on cloud computing is data and its security. Security attacks are at various levels in cloud computing which is becoming very difficult to handle with. The levels of cloud computing security include Network level, Host Level, and Application level. This paper demonstrates various possible attacks at each level of cloud computing security. It also helps in understanding the necessary measures required to be taken in order to get rid of the attacks.

But, the Availability: It is the state of being able to provide power consumption was very high and most of the the data without having interruptions due to any server usage was idle during off-season market. malicious activities. Hence they have come up with a new concept called Integrity: It is the state of maintaining the data Cloud Computing where they gave their servers for accurately without being modified by any rent in the off-season to others, such that they can anonymous/unauthorized users. make money out of it.

  • Comparison of Ftp V/S Ftps
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 March 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 COMPARISON OF FTP V/S FTPS Subhasish Das ,VIT Kusumakar Kashyap,VIT Abstract: The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.FTP is built on a clientserver architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.FTP users may authenticate themselves using clear sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it. For secure transmission that protects the username and password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with SSL/TLS (FTPS). FTPS helps to encrypt and transfer private information within the constraints of regulatory requirements. Many industries rely on the timely and effective transfer of files to provide services to consumers. For example, the healthcare industry requires exchanging sensitive information between healthcare providers, insurance providers, and eligibility services, to name a few. Regulatory requirements such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) provide requirements for the use and disclosure of patients'private healthcare information (PHI). FTP services exchange information between caregivers and insurance companies, but the FTP protocol lacks the level of protection needed to meet regulatory requirements for the safeguarding of PHI. However, encrypting private information over the wire using FTPS helps meet this requirement. Introduction Working of FTP FTP control connection created after TCP connection is established. Internal FTP commands are passed over this logical connection based on formatting rules established by the Telnet protocol.Each command sent by the client receives a reply from the server to indicate whether it succeeded or failed.

  • Evaluation of Communication Protocols Between Vehicle and Server: Evaluation of Data Transmission Overhead by Communication Prot
    DEGREE PROJECT IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, SECOND CYCLE STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2016 Evaluation of communication protocols between vehicle and server Evaluation of data transmission overhead by communication protocols TOMAS WICKMAN KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY Evaluation of communication protocols between vehicle and server Evaluation of data transmission overhead by communication protocols Tomas Wickman 2016-06-29 Master’s Thesis Examiner Gerald Q. Maguire Jr. Academic adviser Anders Västberg KTH Royal Institute of Technology School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department of Communication Systems SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden Abstract | i Abstract This thesis project has studied a number of protocols that could be used to communicate between a vehicle and a remote server in the context of Scania’s connected services. While there are many factors that are of interest to Scania (such as response time, transmission speed, and amount of data overhead for each message), this thesis will evaluate each protocol in terms of how much data overhead is introduced and how packet loss affects this overhead. The thesis begins by giving an overview of how a number of alternative protocols work and what they offer with regards to Scania’s needs. Next these protocols are compared based on previous studies and each protocol’s specifications to determine which protocol would be the best choice for realizing Scania’s connected services. Finally, a test framework was set up using a virtual environment to simulate different networking conditions. Each of the candidate protocols were deployed in this environment and setup to send sample data. The behaviour of each protocol during these tests served as the basis for the analysis of all of these protocols.

Maguire Jr. Industrial advisers Annikki Welin & Tomas Thyni KTH Royal Institute of Technology School of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department of Communication Systems SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden Abstract | i Abstract With Ericsson’s goal to have optimal user experience at 5G’s 2020 release, it is very important to optimize transport protocols and techniques to manage the increasing amount of data traffic. Additionally, it will be important to manage handovers between very high speed 5G networks and older networks. Today most of the traffic is video on demand and the amount of this kind of traffic is expected to increase. Moreover, the current amount of data traffic will increase by an order of magnitude over the next few years. This thesis focuses on radio access networks and the difficulties they face in delivering high speed data traffic. This thesis analyzes one of the most used TCP protocols, CUBIC, as well as a new transport protocol developed by Aspera, called the Fast and Secure Protocol. Aspera’s FASP is a new transport protocol that promises full link utilization. FASP is built upon UDP and uses advanced round trip time measurements and queuing delay to detect the available bandwidth between two communicating hosts.
