With the wide use of smart device made huge amount of information arise. This information needed new methods to deal with it from that perspective big data concept arise. Most of the concerns on big data are given to handle data without concentrating on its security. Encryption is the best use to keep data safe from malicious users. However, ordinary encryption methods are not suitable for big data. Selective encryption is an encryption method that encrypts only the important part of the message. However, we deal with uncertainty to evaluate the important part of the message. The problem arises when the important part is not encrypted. This is the motivation of the paper. In this paper we propose security framework to secure important and unimportant portion of the message to overcome the uncertainty. However, each will take a different encryption technique for better performance without losing security. The framework selects the important parts of the message to be encrypted with a strong algorithm and the weak part with a medium algorithm. The important of the word is defined according to how its origin frequently appears. This framework is applied on amazon EC2 (elastic compute cloud). A comparison between the proposed framework, the full encryption method and Toss-A-Coin method are performed according to encryption time and throughput. The results showed that the proposed method gives better performance according to encryption time, throughput than full encryption.
This paper presents an image technique Discrete Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition for image steganography. We are using a text file and convert into an image as watermark and embed watermarks into the cover image. We evaluate performance and compare this method with other methods like Least Significant Bit, Discrete Cosine Transform, and Discrete Wavelet Transform using Peak Signal Noise Ratio and Mean Squared Error. The result of this experiment showed that combine of Discrete Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition performance is better than the Least Significant Bit, Discrete Cosine Transform, and Discrete Wavelet Transform. The result of Peak Signal Noise Ratio obtained from Discrete Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition method is 57.0519 and 56.9520 while the result of Mean Squared Error is 0.1282 and 0.1311. Future work for this research is to add the encryption method on the data to be entered so that if there is an attack then the encryption method can secure the data becomes more secure.
Cloud Computing is an important term of modern technology. The usefulness of Cloud is increasing day by day and simultaneously more and more security problems are arising as well. Two of the major threats of Cloud are improper authentication and multi-tenancy. According to the specialists both pros and cons belong to multi-tenancy. There are security protocols available but it is difficult to claim these protocols are perfect and ensure complete protection. The purpose of this paper is to propose an integrated model to ensure better Cloud security for Authentication and multi-tenancy. Multi-tenancy means sharing of resources and virtualization among clients. Since multi-tenancy allows multiple users to access same resources simultaneously, there is high probability of accessing confidential data without proper privileges. Our model includes Kerberos authentication protocol to enhance authentication security. During our research on Kerberos we have found some flaws in terms of encryption method which have been mentioned in couple of IEEE conference papers. Pondering about this complication we have elected Elliptic Curve Cryptography. On the other hand, to attenuate arose risks due to multi-tenancy we are proposing a Resource Allocation Manager Unit, a Control Database and Resource Allocation Map. This part of the model will perpetuate resource allocation for the users.
