Security in Cloud Computing and Social Network

A Cloud Computing is the recent trend in IT, where computing and data storage is done in data centers rather than portable Personal Computers. Cloud security is the current discussion in the IT world. In cloud the data is transferred among the server and the client. The cloud moves the application software and database to large data centers, where the management of data and services may not be fully trustworthy. This paper contains the secured data storage and retrieval in cloud using a Triple DES algorithm. Cloud storage enables users to remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high quality cloud applications without the burden of local hardware and software management.
Social Networks on other hand is the important aspect of IT industry. There are many social network sites which allow the users to post comments on other users' profiles and pages. However, a number of social networking sites allow users to include multimedia content like photo/image, video etc, as part of these comments. The study encloses the attacking vector of two popular social networking Web sites, Flicker and LinkedIn. Specifically, it demonstrates three attacks in social network-the Social-DDoS attack, the Man-in Middle attack, and Password-Based attack. The research defines the above attacks and accommodates the prevention techniques to mentioned flaws in social network.
The paper 'Security in Cloud Computing and Social Networks' explores the problems in cloud computing and attacks in social network with solutions for secured data storage in cloud and attack free networking sites.
