Security for cloud systems and virtualization cloud systems, mobile cloud systems and mobile virtualization cloud systems, and computer clusters and mobile device clusters

摘要

A computer implemented method and a cloud security system are provided for securing data in a cloud storage environment. The cloud security system receives data of multiple types from multiple sources and decodes the received data. The cloud security system stores the decoded data in one or more of multiple storage locations within the cloud storage environment and allocates one or more of multiple security actions to be performed on the stored data in each of the storage locations. The cloud security system applies multiple security algorithms to perform the allocated security actions on the stored data in each of the storage locations. The cloud security system encodes resultant data obtained from the application of the security algorithms to the stored data with a security identifier in combination with one or more of a user's authentication information, biometric data, and supplementary parameters for facilitating secure access to the resultant data.

1. A computer implemented method for securing data in a cloud storage environment, said method employing a cloud security system comprising at least one processor configured to execute computer program instructions for performing said method, said method comprising:
receiving data of a plurality of types from a plurality of sources by said cloud security system; decoding said received data and storing said decoded data in one or more of a plurality of storage locations within said cloud storage environment by said cloud security system; allocating one or more of a plurality of security actions to be performed on said stored data in each of said one or more of said storage locations by said cloud security system; applying a plurality of security algorithms configured to perform said allocated one or more of said security actions on said stored data in said each of said one or more of said storage locations by said cloud security system; and encoding resultant data obtained from said application of said security algorithms to said stored data with a security identifier in combination with one or more of authentication information of a user, biometric data of said user, and supplementary parameters by said cloud security system for facilitating secure access to said resultant data.
