An Assurance Framework and Process for Hybrid Systems

Security assurance is a discipline aiming to demonstrate that target system holds some non/functional properties and behaves as expected. These techniques have been recently applied the cloud, facing critical issues especially when integrated within existing security processes executed in programmatic way. Furthermore, they pose significant costs hybrid systems, mixing public private infrastructures, are considered. In this paper, we present an framework implements process evaluating trustworthiness of systems. The builds on standard API/based interface supporting full access functionalities framework. provides transparent, non-invasive automatic solution does not interfere with working system. It Virtual Private Network (VPN)/based solution, provide smooth integration particular those clouds corporate networks. A detailed walkthrough along performance evaluation simulated scenario presented.
