Research Abstract

Cloud services can be categorized into Infrastructure as a Service
(IaaS), the Platform as a Service (PaaS) and the Software as a Service (SaaS).
In (Iaas), the whole IT infrastructure can be delivered as a service. In (Paas), a
virtual platform over the internet gives users the ability to develop and deploy
applications. In (SaaS), it provides accessing an application through the internet
on demand. In the (SaaS) layer, a single instance on the cloud for multiple users
could be provided. Google Apps, one of the most powerful (SaaS) that is used
by many institutes to provide a variety of Web-based applications for business,
education, and government. Security in Cloud computing is an important and
critical problem. Cloud service provider and the cloud service consumer should
make sure that the cloud is safe enough from all the external threats so that the
customer does not face any problem such as loss of data or data theft. Internets
of Things (IoT) are small IP enabled devices that can cooperate to perform specific
functions for various set of applications. This new emerging technology is
strongly involved in applications that have direct impact on human welfare,
such as business, education and government. Securing IoT device's communications
are becoming a must. In this paper a lightweight technique for secure and
authentic communication between IoT devices. That lightweight technique is
based on framework of ideas from virtual server, network management and
cloud services.
