A Weighted Framework for Security Patterns Selection Used for Hosting on the Cloud
摘要
Nowadays software systems become more and more critical in every domain of our lives. Such wide use of information systems has resulted in these systems containing a large amount of critical information, which inevitably need to remain secure. These days’ websites are more than browsing content and pages through internet. They are more interactive and keep users comfort as they can read, browse, send and receive critical information through their interfaces. Recently websites are being hosted in larger datacenters owned by large hosting companies. All technologies trends move towards Cloud computing technologies that leads them for global datacenters rather that local ones. This move gives the technologies markets abilities like ensuring scalable services, reducing the density of local hardware and software management, providing flexibility services and storage systems, as well as providing the ability to remotely process data. Even though this technology will provide a lot of services, there are many concerns related for securing and maintaining the cloud environments. Many techniques are being done to handle these issues in the literature but they are provided separately; they are not dedicated for specific applications and targeted issues. Hosting websites in secure datacenter is a major concept. There are many layers should be introduced to provide access to secure websites and applications published on the internet. In this paper we will introduce complete framework to host a websites on cloud datacenters, to emphasis the security requirements for hosting websites.
