Assignment 1 - VPN Technologies and Security Issues Report - MN610

This report examines the crucial role of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in securing data within cloud computing environments. It begins by highlighting the growing interest in cloud computing and its service delivery models, emphasizing the associated data security challenges, particularly from malicious actors targeting cloud databases. The report then focuses on VPN technology as a primary solution for protecting data transmitted over the internet. It delves into the specifics of VPN security issues, including encryption conventions and the use of a trusted VPN server that assigns encryption keys. The customer then uses this key to encrypt data using advanced encryption standards such as AES. The conclusion underscores the benefits of cloud computing for businesses and the importance of data security, and the report investigates different VPN encryption strategies. The report includes multiple references to support the analysis.

Cloud Computing Security
with VPN

Introduction
 Cloud computing has been gaining a lot of interest and competition in the market.
 The service delivery model of cloud computing has been helping a lot of companies
and users in the market.

Securities issues for cloud
computing
 Data security has been the most
important issue faced in the cloud
computing services.
 Hackers have been targeting data
stored over cloud database over
internet.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)
 Virtual private network (VPN) technology has been providing a way of protection data
being transferred over the internet.
 VPN helps in transmitting data with the help of private connections

VPN Security Issue
 encryption convention for
information in VPN and an
administration key that in
this model VPN server is a
confided in one [9].
 n this technique, Customer
displays his solicitation to
VPN server and it appoints
a key an incentive for
client. Consequently, client
starts scrambling
information by utilizing this
key and propelled
encryption standard AES.

Conclusion
 It can be concluded that cloud computing has been helping business organization in
various ways. Because of the significance of data security issue, this paper has
focused on investigation of various VPN encryption strategies.
