confidentiality:

The process of maintaining the privacy of transactions from sources to destinations is called “Confidentiality.” Confidentiality talks about protecting the disclosing of information to unauthorized parties on the network. The information transferred from source to destination has some secret message which cannot be shared with unauthorized users.
The most common technique adopted to keep the information confidential is the process of encryption. Encryption ensures that the message is secured with a private key and the original message will be in an unreadable format. So, everyone wishes to keep the information secret from diverse malicious activities on the network. Confidentiality is considered to be one of the primary factors of secured transactions between sources to the destination. The confidential information can contain any bank details, personal details, hospital details, government details, which needs to be protected from various malicious activities on the network.

integrity:

The information transmitted between sources to the destination is maintained confidentially. The protocol which governs the confidentiality of information from source to destination is called “Integrity.”Integrity ensures that only trusted parties are communicating inside the network. Integrity also ensures that only authorized users can access or modify the information transmitted through the network. Proper security infrastructure should be defined in order to manage the transactions on the trusted parties in the network. There are great chances of losing data integrity in the network, by the influence of the other attacks like social engineering attacks and malware attacks.

Availability:

There is a need for availability of information during transmission from source to destination. The availability arises when any operations or processing needs to be performed on the information transmitted between sources to the destination. The availability talks about the availability of information when it is required to be transmitted from source to destination and for other processing operations like encryption, decryption, and so on.
let us consider an example of the availability of information on an e-commerce site. The information should be available at the right time at the right place on an e-commerce site to present the customers with the required information of various products. Suppose, if the information is not available at the right time at the right place, then there are great chances of the site getting crashed.

The Seven-Step Model of Migration

Irrespective of the migration approach adopted, the Seven-step Model of Cloud Migration creates a more rational point of view towards the migration process and offers the ability to imbibe several best practices throughout the journey Step 1: Assess Cloud migration assessments are conducted to understand the complexities in the migration process at the code, design and architectural levels. The investment and the recurring costs are also evaluated along with gauging the tools, test cases, functionalities and other features related to the configuration. Step 2: Isolate The applications to be migrated to the cloud from the internal data center are freed of dependencies pertaining to the environment and the existing system. This step cuts a clearer picture about the complexity of the migration process. Step 3: Map Most organisations hold a detailed mapping of their environment with all the systems and applications. This information can be used to distinguish between the ...

Cloud Computing architecture

Cloud computing architecture refers to all components and sub-components that together form the structure of the cloud computing system. This architecture can be divided into three parts for better understanding – front end, back end and middleware. Each part of the cloud architecture has its own set of functionalities and protocols that work together to deliver on-demand services to user-facing hardware as well as software. In general, the architecture is evolved out of large distributed network applications over the last two decades. Hence it supports any system where resources can be pooled and partitioned as required. The general cloud architecture is capable of running multiple software applications running on multiple virtual hardware in multiple locations to efficiently render on-demand services to the users. The users could be using these software applications from their desktop or laptop or mobile or tablets. Usually, whatever the user is looking at – through t...

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...
