Secure Multi-Clouds Database: A New Approach to Provide Security in Cloud Computing

Author Name : Dr. Varsha S. Tondre

ABSTRACT

Cloud computing is a type of computing that shares computing resources on the internet. It means "A type of Internet-based computing", which provides different types of services to users such as servers, storage space, and devices through the Internet. “Single cloud”, may lead to security problems like service availability failure, data loss. There might also exist a possibility of malicious insiders in a single cloud. Bessani [1] presents multi-cloud or cloud-of-clouds that decreases security risks in cloud computing. This paper focuses on multi-cloud to enhance security by dividing reliability, trust, and security among multiple cloud providers.

This paper proposed a new model of “Secure multi-cloud database framework” which is based on multi-cloud providers rather than the single cloud provider. This framework compromises with Shamir’s secret sharing approach, Byzantine Fault Tolerance in a multi-cloud computing environment, and also applies MDE (Model-Driven Engineering).

Keywords – Multi-cloud, Secret sharing algorithm, Byzantine Agreement protocols, Byzantine fault tolerance, Model-driven engineering.
