Security of Side Channel Power Analysis Attack in Cloud Computing
Future world is moving towards cloud computing. In a word cloud computing can be defined as remote access computing resources through the Internet. It provides a lot of services at a very low cost. It can improve an organization’s performance by minimizing its cost. It also helps to maximize their revenue with fewer resources. It is becoming popular among organizations and people. They can store their data in cloud at low cost. Attackers aim to attack cloud environment for getting valuable information from cloud users. They attack on it by taking different approaches. They try to access confidential information of different organizations from the cloud. Among different attacks side channel power analysis attack is a newer type of attack. In this paper, we proposed a way to mitigate these types of attacks through a Police Virtual Machine (Police VM). The Police VM provides false power consumption information to attackers and they cannot get real power consumption information from user VM.
