The multi cloud architecture improvises the constancy of the system associated with the cloud computing as they offer benefits such as the reducing the severity of the vendor lock in, which is the major impediment to the cloud service adoption. However the information maintenance in the multi cloud architecture is a very tedious and challenging as it inherits multitudes of complexity due to various services rendered, interfaces and technologies used. As storage is the fundamental usage of the cloud computing, the failures in the information maintenance (storage, securing, retrieval) in the traditional cloud computing has led to the development of different techniques that are highly reliable and flexible. The paper also scope in developing one such adaptable and highly secure information maintenance using the Cryptography integrated Computational intelligence (CICI) for application deployment in the multi cloud architecture. The proposed method is validated using the network simulator –Two, to verify the performance augmentation of the multi-cloud architecture in its information maintenance.

Efficient information maintenance usingcomputational intelligence in the multi-cloudarchitecture

Cloud computing is a new, promising emerging technology which provides a variety of services over the public network. Such as software, hardware, data storage and infrastructure services. It is widely used because it offers high processing power, wide range of storage space and high computational speed. It provides a convenient on demand network access to a pool of shared services and resources via public networks. So enterprises can use the available services and resources to develop, host, and run services over their infrastructure in a flexible way anytime, anywhere with minimal management efforts. This makes cloud computing efficient, flexible and cost effective tool for business development and growth. On the other hand, the adoption of cloud computing suffers from security and privacy deficiency, which became significant challenge. In this paper; an efficient and provably secure authentication mechanism is proposed to give a legitimate user the right to access and manage the cloud resources.

Secure and Efficient Authentication Scheme for Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is an emerging domain that enables the deployment of a new IT service paradigm. Cloud providers offer a wide range of services which are charged per unit basis. The major challenge facing clouds is security. It includes ensuring the safety of the infrastructure as well as protection against unauthorized access. In this paper, we deal with cloud security services, including key agreements and authentication. By employing Elliptic Curve Cryptography for client authentication process and data storage, we design the Multi-Server Cloud Computing system. Our scheme chooses not to store encryption keys anywhere in the cloud because of the secret isolation guideline. A request counter is used at the time of the client authentication process to prevent replay attacks. To aid in controlled access, a mandatory access control model is preferred. We split the encrypted data and store it on different clouds, which provides security against attacks on the storage server. Restrictions are imposed to ensure only selected employees (administrators) have authority to handle the encrypted data. Our Multi-Server Cloud Computing system is used to fit an environment in which each cloud contains multiple servers that collaborate in serving applications. One cloud is used for client authentication and key agreement, and another cloud for data splitting and combining. Due to strong security and operation efficiency, the proposed secure cloud computing should be most suitable for use in a cloud computing environment.
