  • As the expansion of enterprise scale and the increase of staff, the amount of terminal is increasing as well. It is very difficult to the system manager of traditional data protection scheme to manage and maintenance for the large number of terminals. This problem can be solved by desktop virtualization, which use traditional security problems still exist and new security problems occur at the same time. Using desktop virtualization, it needs a method of automatic security protection. In this paper, the desktop virtualization security requirements are discussed.

  • Along with the growth of u-Healthcare, we propose a security enhancement based on network separation for CloudHIS with for handling healthcare information to cope with cyber attack. To protect against all security threats and to establish clear data security policies, we apply desktop computing servers to cloud computing services for CloudHIS. Use two PCs with a hypervisor architecture to apply physical network isolation and select the network using KVM switched controller. The other is a logical network separation using one PC with two OSs, but the network is divided through virtualization. Physical network separation is the physical connection of a PC to each network to block the access path from both the Internet and the business network. The proposed system is an independent desktop used to access an intranet or the Internet through server virtualization technology on a user's physical desktop computer. We can implement an adaptive solution to prevent hacking by configuring the CloudHIS, a cloud system that handles medical hospital information, through network separation for handling security enhancement.

  • Recently, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) has been widely adopted to ensure secure protection of enterprise data and provide users with a centrally managed execution environment. However, user experiences may be restricted due to the limited functionalities of thin clients in VDI. If thick client devices like laptops are used, then data leakage may be possible due to malicious software installed in thick client mobile devices. In this paper, we present Data Firewall, a security framework to manage and protect security-sensitive data in thick client mobile devices. Data Firewall consists of three components: Virtual Machine (VM) image management, client VM integrity attestation, and key management for Protected Storage. There are two types of execution VMs managed by Data Firewall: Normal VM and Secure VM. In Normal VM, a user can execute any applications installed in the laptop in the same manner as before. A user can access security-sensitive data only in the Secure VM, for which the integrity should be checked prior to access being granted. All the security-sensitive data are stored in the space called Protected Storage for which the access keys are managed by Data Firewall. Key management and exchange between client and server are handled via Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in the framework. We have analyzed the security characteristics and built a prototype to show the performance overhead of the proposed framework.

  • The current PC-based desktop environment is being converted into server-based virtual desktop environment due to security, mobility, and low upgrade cost. In this paper, a desktop virtualization system is implemented using an open source-based cloud computing platform and hypervisor. The implemented system is applied to the virtualziation of computer in university. In order to reduce the image transfer time, we propose a solution using HDFS. In addition, an image management structure needed for desktop virtualization is designed and implemented, and applied to a real computer lab which accommodates 30 PCs. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated in various aspects including implementation cost, power saving rate, reduction rate of license cost, and management cost. The experimental results showed that the proposed system considerably reduced the image transfer time for desktop service.

  • Our society is depending on mobile devices that play a major role in our lives. Utilizing these devices is possible due to their speed power and efficiency in performing basic as well as sophisticated operations that can be found in traditional computers like desktop workstations. The challenge with using mobile devices is that organizations are concerned with the interference between personal and corporate use due to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend. This paper highlights the importance of mobile devices in our daily tasks and the associated risks involved with using these devices. Several technologies and countermeasures are reviewed in this paper to secure the mobile devices from different attempts of attacks. It is important to mention that this paper focuses on technical measures rather than considering different aspects of security measures as recommended by the cybersecurity community.

  • Grid provides integral ing system that enables to use distributed computing resource and services as adapts traditional infrastructures to overcome the distributed computing environments. But, computing today is moving away from a restriction of the desktop, becoming diffused into our surrounding and onto our personal digital devices. In such mobile computing environments, users expects to access resource and services at any time from anywhere in such Mobile-Grid computing. This expectation results security issues, since the computing environments is expanded. This paper describes the security challenges in Mobile-Grid computing, explaining why traditional security mechanism fail to meet the demands of these environments. This paper describes policy driven security mechanism enabled entity to use service and data in trust Mobile-Grid environments and a set of security service module that need to be realized in the Mobile-Grid security architecture presents a set of use pattern that show hew these modules can be used for billing service in a secure Mobile-Grid environments.

  • Recently, Virtualization technology is moving the desktop environment from its place a mobile platform environment, personal and businesses, academia, and lacked security and in a team environment brought about many changes are coming. In this environment, a representative of VMware's MVP solution and Enterporid Divide. But, another issue is that these mobile virtualization technologies in an environment of limited resources and performance constraints, have become its application virtualization technology to improve the weaknesses of the mobile platform. In this paper, proposed for client-based desktop application virtualization infrastructure, bring it to the Android environment, weaknesses of the existing paper was user area limitations of the desktop environment with application virtualization, program execution android application virtualization launcher was improved through increased resource allocation.

  • The existing PC-based desktop environment is being changed to a server-based virtual desktop environment due to various advantages such as security, mobility, and upgrade cost reduction. In this paper, a virtual computing lab service system which is applicable to the existing computer lab is designed and implemented using both an open source-based cloud computing platform and hypervisor. In addition, a node power scheduler is proposed in order to reduce power consumption in a server farm. The experimental results show that the power scheduler reduces power consumption considerably over the server farm without the power scheduler.

  • A mobile communication device is a small size of portable computer which provides communication service, such as smart phone and PDA. Currently, one of the biggest barriers in developing the mobile communication device is security issue. Even though there are excellent security functions which can remove the security issues, there is a problem that the mobile communication device can not be loaded with all the functions because it has low storage, poor computational power, and inconvenient user interface, compared to the desktop personal computer. This paper proposes a context-aware security reconfiguration scheme for effective security management of the mobile communication device. The scheme can provide the mobile communication device with the optimized security service which is most adapted to its current security context. Through the prototype implementation and the experiments of the proposed scheme, we have confirmed that the proposed scheme is excellent in terms of computing resource efficiency and usability, without degrading security level.
