Cloud computing provides computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. Parallels to this concept can be drawn with the electricity grid, where end-users consume power without needing to understand the component devices or infrastructure required to provide the service. Cloud computing describes a new supplement, consumption, and delivery model for IT services based on Internet protocols, and it typically involves provisioning of dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources It is a byproduct and consequence of the ease-of-access to remote computing sites provided by the Internet. This frequently takes the form of web-based tools or applications that users can access and use...

...of this report is published as "Trends in Computer Science Research" Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski and M. Zaki, Communications of the ACM, 56(10), Oct. 2013, pp.74-83 An Evolution of Computer Science Research∗ Apirak Hoonlor, Boleslaw K. Szymanski, Mohammed J. Zaki, and James Thompson Abstract Over the past two decades, Computer Science (CS) has continued to grow as a research field. There are several studies that examine trends and emerging topics in CS research or the impact of papers on the field. In contrast, in this article, we take a closer look at the entire CS research in the past two decades by analyzing the data on publications in the ACM Digital Library and IEEE Xplore, and the grants awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). We identify trends, bursty topics, and interesting inter-relationships between NSF awards and CS publications, finding, for example, that if an uncommonly high frequency of a specific topic is observed in publications, the funding for this topic is usually increased. We also analyze CS researchers and communities, finding that only a small fraction of authors attribute their work to the same research area for a long period of time, reflecting for instance the emphasis on novelty (use of new keywords) and typical academic research teams (with core faculty and more rapid turnover of students and postdocs). Finally, our work highlights the dynamic research landscape in CS, with its focus constantly moving to new challenges...

...this exploitation, companies subject themselves to lawsuits from their own customers. These companies often are ignorant of the simple fact that they have been exploited until customers report the issues to these companies and corporations. Many times, more than thirty days goes by before someone alerts the company of a possible security breech. Cost of an electronic exploit can be greater than a million dollars per incident as reported by the FBI. This information is found in the FBI’s (Federal Bureau of Investigation) report of cyber threats in the United States. In order to help counterbalance this, smaller to midsized companies could spend less than $5,000 to harden their systems and operating systems to put a statefull firewall in place. As stated in this paper, these companies often lack the resources, materials and funds to do so. With the FBI report showing reported incidents, there are thousands of incidents that go unreported. Often these incidents are yet to be discovered. With this number of small to mid-size corporations ignoring or slowly implementing security measures, more and more electronic computer crimes are beginning to take place throughout the U.S. With extortion now moving into the digital age, many corporations do not report intrusions to law enforcement in order to avoid negative publicity. Reports of an intrusion could directly have a negative effect on the company’s sales and position in a global competitive market. Approximately 35% of...

...Security Issues in Mobile Computing Srikanth Pullela Department of Computer Science University of Texas at Arlington E-mail: pvssrikath@hotmail.com Abstract In the present mobile communication environment, lot of research is going on, to improve the performance of issues like handoffs, routing etc. Security is another key issue that needs to be considered, which comes into picture once the communication channel is setup. Many security protocols are being proposed for different applications like Wireless Application Protocol, 802.11 etc. most of them are based on the public and private key cryptography. This paper provides an insight on these cryptographic protocols and also looks into the current research project going on at Sun Microsystems Lab on wireless security. 1.Introduction With the rapid growth in the wireless mobile communication technology, small devices like PDAs, laptops are able to communicate with the fixed wired network while in motion. Because of its flexibility and provision of providing ubiquitous infrastructure, the need to provide security increases to a great degree. As wireless communication takes place mainly through the radio signals rather than wires, it is easier to intercept or eavesdrop on the communication channels. Therefore, it is important to provide security from all these threats. There are different kinds of issues within security like confidentiality, integrity, availability, legitimacy, and accountability that needs...

List all the regulations that apply to Financial Services, HealthCare industry. Data Security Summary: The major purposes of database security are confidentiality, accessibility, and honesty. The characteristics of these three are distinctive but they are correlated to each other. The information which is available in the database should be secured, must be spared from being assaulted, and to save the data or information which is secured to be done in a strong or effective way. Confidentiality is all about telling or giving the information with security. Secrecy of the information is all that much identified with the mystery. Secrecy in another word can be defined as privacy or confidentiality. Besides this, all the information or data which is stored need to be secured and also should be very easy to access to right persons. Accessibility is all about the accessibility of the information for the approved client at any given point where the customer or client needs it without any disturbance or discomfort to the client and at the same time security should strong enough that third person cannot access without permission. However, the approved client can get the way through to have access the available data. The troubles or problems occurred while accessing the data has its...
