Abstract: Cloud platform includes several storage services that can be used to manage the needs of users in both private and public environments. Swift, an object storage component of the OpenStack cloud computing platform is used to store, manage and retrieve data. The CIA Model is key considerations for cloud computing services such as the Swift storage. Due to the simplistic nature of Swift storage, its trust model has a negative implication and this amplifies the potential impairment from compromised node, leaving the cloud platform vulnerable to various attacks. The existing model requires fundamental modification with improvement in security and trust level. The authors discuss in details the steps of the proposed model and how improving the security of cloud computing can be achieved. The results of this research indicate that the proposed model, i.e., CloudSecure have significantly improved and effective the security. Conclude, the cognitive effectiveness of the existing OpenStack Swift has been improved.
