DISTRIBUTED ARBITER A LIGHTWEIGHT, AND ENHANCED ACCESS CONTROL MECHANISM FOR CLOUD COMPUTING

ABSTRACT
Since its discovery, computer technology has played a key role in changing the lifestyles of people and continues to provide countless benefits. Nevertheless, computer technology systems that facilitate smooth integration, such as, cloud computing; are prone to cyber breaches, which has negatively affected its reputation and perception. Therefore, computer technology systems that are secure are needed to curb cyber threats and increase user trust. The primary issue in computer technology systems is that, unlike alternative methods, most cloud access control mechanisms are inadequate. Furthermore, transitioning to a trust-based mechanism is not only complicated and costly but a significantly decision intensive process. As such, this present study investigates how network risks and threats analysis, edge computing and Arbiter, a mandatory access control mechanism, can be integrated into cloud computing to prevent single points of failure. It also examines how these integrating components can decrease the costs and effort required to change an entire operating system to meet the requirements of a trusted system.
