Abstract:
Cloud is a relatively new concept and so it is
unsurprising that the information assurance,
data protection, network security and privacy
concerns have yet to be fully addressed.
Companies such as RedHat, Microsoft, Amazon,
Google, and IBM are increasingly funding cloud
computing infrastructure and research, making it
important for students to gain the necessary
skills to work with cloud-based resources. This
paper presents a free, educational private cloud
using an existing infrastructure. However,
security is a huge issue for cloud users especially
access control, user profile management and
accessing services offered by the private cloud
environment. Therefore, this paper proposes a
private cloud control, privacy and access for the
cloud user who are involved in the academic
institution private cloud system. This system
intends to reduce the risk such as stealing and
misuse of the private personal data. This system
uses Eucalyptus Cloud Infrastructure as a
testbed. The main ideas of this system (in term of
security and privacy) are to minimize the
confidential information of cloud users, to
maximize the access control and to specify the
data usage.
