The CCSW workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore all aspects of security in cloud-centric and outsourced computing. In CCSW 2024, based on the papers that have been accepted, the workshop is focused on applied ...

As cloud computing gains widespread adoption across various industries, securing cloud resources has become a top priority for cloud providers. However, ensuring configuration security among highly interconnected cloud resources is challenging due to the ...

Modern technologies of computing cloud are showing great promise, but at the same time create new security challenges that hinder full acceptance. Given that most of these services often use cloud networks as channels for communication, securing ...

Cloud computing has raised concerns about security, causing many companies to hesitate in adopting it. Despite these concerns, there are methods available to address the risks associated with implementing a business process (BP) in the cloud. ...

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way IT industries work. Most modern‐day companies rely on cloud services to accomplish their day‐to‐day tasks. From hosting websites to developing platforms and storing resources, cloud computing has ...

In the fast-growing sector of cloud computing, users can employ system resources as needed for data storage and computation. Protecting confidential data is the biggest cloud computing challenge. Security challenges in cloud computing are categorised as ...

Deep learning techniques have shown significant impact in enhancing security across various domains by leveraging artificial neural networks models. When applied to cloud computing security, deep learning offers cost-effective solutions by ...

This paper explores the economic implications of outsourcing data and computation to a cloud provider in comparison to maintaining an on-premise data center. Our investigation is twofold: contrasting a private data center with a trusted cloud, and the ...

Outsourcing data to the cloud has become prevalent, so Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE), one of the methods for protecting outsourced data, has arisen widespread interest. Moreover, many novel technologies and theories have emerged, especially for ...

Secure keyword search is a prevailing search service offered in outsourced environments. However, with the increasingly severe security vulnerabilities of conventional centralized outsourcing, the architecture of secure keyword search, with searchable ...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive security architecture, Flexible Secure Execution Environment (FlexSEE), for confidential computing in modern cloud environments. FlexSEE does not require the trust of system software on the compute server and ...

Continuous certification of cloud services requires a high degree of automation in collecting and evaluating evidences. Prior approaches to this topic are often specific to a cloud provider or a certain certification catalog. This makes it costly and ...

Confidential virtual machines (CVMs) enabled by AMD SEV provide a protected environment for sensitive computations on an untrusted cloud. Unfortunately, CVMs are typically deployed with huge and vulnerable operating system kernels, exposing the CVMs to ...

Migrating enterprises and business capabilities to cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become increasingly common. However, securing cloud operations, especially at large scales, can quickly become intractable. Customer-side issues such as ...

In a world where reliance on digital services becomes more critical every year with billions of dollars in penalties being levied annually by regulators and the impacts from security control failures growing, the potential consequence of organizations ...

This paper presents two innovative approaches to address the challenges of task scheduling, efficient resource utilisation, and security in cloud computing environments. The first approach proposes an optimal task-scheduling strategy for virtual machines ...

Cloud computing provides delivery of computing resources as a service on a pay-as-you-go basis. It represents a shift from products being purchased, to products being subscribed as a service, delivered to consumers over the internet from a large scale ...

Moving Target Defense (MTD) can eliminate the asymmetric advantage that attackers have in terms of time to explore a static system by changing a system's configuration dynamically to reduce the efficacy of reconnaissance and increase uncertainty and ...

In an increasingly de-centralized networked environment, the security controls provided by traditional perimeter security architectures are becoming ineffective. Software Defined Perimeter (SDP), as an implementation of a Zero Trust Network Architecture ...

Since more and more data from lightweight platforms like IoT devices or mobile apps are being outsourced to the cloud, the need to ensure privacy while retaining data usability is essential. This paper designs a framework where lightweight platforms ...
