MODEL-BASED CLOUD GENERATION: A NOVEL APPROACH FOR SECURING CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS

Abstract

One major security risk in cloud computing settings is authorization. Its goal is to control user access to system resources. The implementation of security standards is difficult and error-prone due to the abundance of resources connected with REST APIs, which are common in cloud computing environments.In this research, we suggest an implementation of security cloud monitor to mitigate this issue. To express the functional and security requirements, we use a model-driven approach. Cloud monitors are then created using the models. Contracts that are used to automatically verify implementation are contained in the cloud monitors. We implement cloud monitor using the Django web framework, and we validate our solution using OpenStack.
