A scalable and dynamic application-level secure communication framework for inter-cloud services
We have designed a secure communication framework for inter-cloud computing model. We use three security schemes in a novel way to minimize the performance overhead. We implemented our design and measured the overhead caused by the security features on two commercial clouds. Our results show the cost of the throughput overhead as a 5% decrease in throughput. Our results show the cost of the latency overhead as a 10% increase in latency.
