This book mainly focuses on cloud security and high performance computing for cloud auditing. The book discusses emerging challenges and techniques developed for high performance semantic cloud auditing, and presents the state of the art in cloud auditing, computing and security techniques with focus on technical aspects and feasibility of auditing issues in federated cloud computing environments.

In summer 2011, the United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) CyberBAT Cloud Security and Auditing Team initiated the exploration of the cloud security challenges and future cloud auditing research directions that are covered in this book. This work was supported by the United States government funds from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), the AFOSR Summer Faculty Fellowship Program (SFFP), the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Visiting Faculty Research Program (VFRP), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Health (NIH). All chapters were partially supported by the AFOSR Information Operations and Security Program extramural and intramural funds (AFOSR/RSL Program Manager: Dr. Robert Herklotz).

Key Features:

·         Contains surveys of cyber threats and security issues in cloud computing and presents secure cloud architectures

·         Presents in-depth cloud auditing techniques, federated cloud security architectures, cloud access control models, and access assured information sharing technologies

This book introduces fundamentals and trade-offs of data de-duplication techniques. It describes novel emerging de-duplication techniques that remove duplicate data both in storage and network in an efficient and effective manner. It explains places where duplicate data are originated, and provides solutions that remove the duplicate data. It classifies existing de-duplication techniques depending on size of unit data to be compared, the place of de-duplication, and the time of de-duplication. Chapter 3 considers redundancies in email servers and a de-duplication technique to increase reduction performance with low overhead by switching chunk-based de-duplication and file-based de-duplication. Chapter 4 develops a de-duplication technique applied for cloud-storage service where unit data to be compared are not physical-format but logical structured-format, reducing processing time efficiently. Chapter 5 displays a network de-duplication where redundant data packets sent by clients are encoded (shrunk to small-sized payload) and decoded (restored to original size payload) in routers or switches on the way to remote servers through network. Chapter 6 introduces a mobile de-duplication technique with image (JPEG) or video (MPEG) considering performance and overhead of encryption algorithm for security on mobile device.
