Goal-based security components for cloud storage security framework: a preliminary study
Farashazillah Yahya, Robert John Walters, Gary Brian Wills · 2016
There are a variety of ways to ensure the security of data in the cloud depending on the set of anticipated concerns. Many cloud storage secure data either by encrypting data on transfer, or by encrypting data at rest. These security protections seem very different, and currently there are no common goalbased security components for comparing them. In this paper we investigate the security components forming security, which ensures data are securely protected in cloud storage. We will show security components that were extracted by synthesising existing security frameworks and industry accepted standards to satisfy the concerns for which there is little extant research. The components are also mapped to security concerns happening in the cloud. A triangulation method was applied to investigate the important security components. This exploratory research has been considered by security experts and practitioners who confirmed the proposed framework.
