Abstract

Could computing is the latest development of the modern computing technology. It is the next stage of the Internet evolution. Cloud computing provides the organizations with the infrastructure management, various software services and the datacenter maintenance. The organizations can reduce their operational cost and concentrate on their strategic planning by using services provided by cloud computing. Generally, the success of cloud computing depends on three key issues: data security, fast Internet access and standardization [17]. Among the three issues, the biggest concern is data security. In this paper, we investigate the security issue related to datacenter of cloud computing. By analyzing the properties of the data stored at the datacenter, we propose a logical approach to specify the data and employ intelligent agents to enforce appropriate security policies on it. We expect such approach will protect the datacenter by only allowing the legitimate users accessing the data and preventing any malicious attempt to it.
