چکیده

Cloud computing is a dynamic environment that offers variety of on-demand services with low cost. However, customers face new security risks due to shared infrastructure in the cloud. Co-residency of virtual machines on the same physical machine, leads to several threats for cloud tenants. Cloud administrators are often encountered with a more challenging problem since they have to work within a fixed budget for cloud hardening. The problem is how to select a subset of countermeasures to be within the budget and yet minimize the residual damage to the cloud caused by malicious VMs. We address this problem by introducing a novel multi-objective attack response system. We consider response cost, co-residency threat, and virtual machines interactions to select optimal response in face of the attack. Optimal response selection as a multi-objective optimization problem calculates alternative responses, with minimum threat and cost. Our method estimates threat level based on the collaboration graph and suggests proper countermeasures based on threat type with minimum cost. Experimental result shows that our system can suggest optimal responses based on the current state of the cloud.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
