Abstract

In the cloud environment, the confidentiality of data is improved by protecting the cloud data from unauthorized user access. During data communication, the balancing of load across cloud servers helps to maintain the cloud service's reliability. Through intrusion detection, the performance of secured data communication is enhanced in a significant way. Some techniques were developed in the field of cloud computing to provide secure communication between the cloud server and cloud user. These developed techniques failed to improve the security and load balancing efficiency simultaneously during the data transmission on a cloud. There is no sufficient algorithm in the present situation to detect the intrusions and to provide improved results in the load balancing. In this research work we propose a novel "Dynamic Certificateless Random Identity (DCRI)" algorithm for ensuring cloud security and a "Rank-Indexing (RI)" algorithm based on weightage for load balancing. Our proposed DCRI-RI hybrid method will ensure a better rate of intrusion detection with higher load balancing efficiency. The DCRI algorithm is relied on a cryptographic concept based on advanced encryption and decryption signature authentication process performed on both cloud server and user end to detect and remove the unauthorized users in a significant way.
