Abstract—Cloud computing is a burgeoning Internet computing paradigm. The convenient, cheap and elastic resources in the cloud are attracting the users to migrate their assets (data, computing and software, etc.) into it. However, cloud also caused the serious worry about the security of those assets, since the resources are not under the control of the users. Traditional security mechanisms are usually aimed at single autonomous domain and are not suitable for protection of those assets migrating between autonomous domains. This paper caters to the security of aforesaid migrated assets, defines them as job, studies their security demands, analyses the security threats to them, and proposes the essential protecting mechanisms for it. Our work is from the point of view of the users, and thus will be more suitable for solving the security problem of their assets.
Index Terms—Cloud computing, security, job, asset, protection.
