Community Cloud: Concept, Model, Attacks and Solution

In this paper, we propose a new model of community cloud (ComC) interaction that is based on the demand of tenants and propose an intrusion detection mechanism for the proposed model. ComC is a solution that is more secure than the public cloud, and less costly than the private cloud. We argue that our proposed model of the ComC will be more beneficial to consumers as well as providers. Our evaluation shows the efficiency of the proposed model from cost and operation point of views. In addition, our analysis shows that our proposed IDS can make the ComC a safe environment and can guarantee the security and privacy of the customers.
