The presented book is entirely based on the research on various
components of cloud computing operations and the existing cloud service
models. Security is still most important concern worldwide and in this
book we discussed the existing security threats and security services
for the cloud .We also provided research based data of major security
attacks on cloud environment with its attack surface and behavior. The
security analysis of major attack surfaces are analyzed and presented a
concise report that could be useful for both end users and cloud service
provider. The book also covers a complete overview of Cloud Computing
Architecture with a strong and lucid background and the concept related
to cloud network and computing. We have analyzed and discussed various
widely used hyper-visors, network and transportation protocols,
encryption protocols with their security breaches in detail. Currently
the cloud network and computing is the part of CS curriculum of UG, PG,
and engineering courses. So this book will prove equally beneficial for
the students of UG, PG and Research.
