Security Algorithms and Protocols to Mitigate Data Risks in the Cloud in a Distributed Environment

Attacks on information security in the cloud have been manifested for many years, due to the types of services it offers, including data storage; Cloud attacks, security protocols, and benchmark algorithms were analyzed to identify security gaps that are vulnerable to different attacks. The main objective is to propose a Conceptual Model to protect the cloud against attacks. Qualitative, descriptive and deductive reasoning was used to analyze the information from the reference articles. It resulted in a Conceptual Model to protect the cloud against attacks, a Cloud Security Prototype and an Algorithm using flowchart techniques to protect the cloud from attacks. It was concluded that the conceptual model to protect the cloud from attacks proposed allows users to have an identity, authorization, authentication and audit (IAAA) so that the information has confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) in a distributed environment in the cloud.
