Preventing Cloud Network from Spamming Attacks Using Cloudflare and KNN

Cloud computing is one of the most attractive and cost-saving models, which provides online services to end-users. Cloud computing allows the user to access data directly from any node. But nowadays, cloud security is one of the biggest issues that arise. Different types of malware are wreaking havoc on the clouds. Attacks on the cloud server are happening from both internal and external sides. This paper has developed a tool to prevent the cloud server from spamming attacks. When an attacker attempts to use different spamming techniques on a cloud server, the attacker will be intercepted through two effective techniques: Cloudflare and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) classification. Cloudflare will block those IP addresses that the attacker will use and prevent spamming attacks. However, the KNN classifiers will determine which area the spammer belongs to. At the end of the article, various prevention techniques for securing cloud servers will be discussed, a comparison will be made with different papers, a conclusion will be drawn based on different results.     

Two Layer Symmetric Cryptography Algorithm for Protecting Data fromAttacks

Many organizations have insisted on protecting the cloud server from the outside, although the risks of attacking the cloud server are mostly from the inside. There are many algorithms designed to protect the cloud server from attacks that have been able to protect the cloud server attacks. Still, the attackers have designed even better mechanisms to break these security algorithms. Cloud cryptography is the best data protection algorithm that exchanges data between authentic users. In this article, one symmetric cryptography algorithm will be designed to secure cloud server data, used to send and receive cloud server data securely. A double encryption algorithm will be implemented to send data in a secure format. First, the XOR function will be applied to plain text, and then salt technique will be used. Finally, a reversing mechanism will be implemented on that data to provide more data security. To decrypt data, the cipher text will be reversed, salt will be removed, and XOR will be implemented. At the end of the paper, the proposed algorithm will be compared with other algorithms, and it will conclude how much better the existing algorithm is than other algorithms.
