An Algorithm for Securing Hybrid Cloud Outsourced Data in the Banking Sector

Abstract

The Cloud has become a significant topic in the banking computing; however, the trend has established a new range of security issues that need to be addressed. In Cloud, the banking data and associated software are not under their control. In addition, with the growing demands for Cloud networks communication, it becomes increasingly important to secure the data flow path. The existing research related to security mechanisms only focuses on securing the flow of information in the communication banking networks. There is a lack of work on improving the performance of networks to meet quality of service (QoS) constrains for various services. The security mechanisms work by encryption and decryption of the information, but do not consider the optimised use of the network resources. In this chapter the authors propose a Secure Data Transmission Mechanism (SDTM) with Preemption Algorithm that combines between security and quality of service for the banking sector. Their developed SDTM enhanced with Malicious Packets Detection System (MPDS) which is a set of technologies and solutions.
