PROTECTING DATA IN NON-VOLATILE STORAGES PROVIDED TO CLOUDS AGAINST MALICIOUS ATTACKS

Abstract:

Protecting data in non-volatile storages provided to clouds against malicious attacks. According to an aspect, multiple malicious patterns indicating respective malicious attacks to access non-volatile storages provided to clouds in a cloud infrastructure are maintained. When an access request is received, the data stream representing the access request is examined to determine whether the data stream contains any of the malicious patterns. If the data stream is found not to contain any malicious pattern, it is concluded that the access request is free of the malicious attacks. If the data stream is found to contain at least one malicious pattern, it is concluded that the access request is a malicious attack corresponding to the malicious pattern.
