I. INTRODUCTION

From introducing new international

standards to having an important role to

play in several industries, computer

science is one of the powerful subjects

right now. You cannot guess a single area

that does not need computer systems or

efficient networking options. Because

Technology and Computer Science go

together for any field.

Stating this, there are a few core

subjects inside computer science that is

unpredictable in its future use. One such

case is with computing technologies.

You would have come across

articles and official journals, talking about

the impact, applications and other exciting

features of cloud computing. But geeks

and general computing-lovers will know

that there are 2 more challenges to handle

– computing security and reliability.

Before entering deep into the challenges,

let us first understand a few characteristics

of computing. Getting an insight into these

concepts can even help you in the

narrowing down your search for getting

service, according to your project’s

challenge and expectation.

Things to know (Vancabdy, 2013) about

Computing

The following pointers will help you

understand the basic definition and

features of cloud computing. The context

that follows below is from the Research

perspectives of the ‘Guide to Computer

Network Security’:

The cloud technology is undefinable

on many aspects and is not predictable

with ease on its future scope. This

cloud system would be the

fundamental platform to other next-

generation computing protocols.

The support system to building a solid

cloud computing foundation includes

many proven innovations such as

browsing platforms, service-oriented

technologies, virtualization, service

legal agreements, autonomic systems

and the list goes on.

Speaking of its characteristics, cloud

computing is an on-demand self-

service domain that comprises of

measured servicing, flexibility, rapid

elasticity. The features will differ

across other computing models.

Irrespective of its application or the

model framed, cloud computing

technologies have a lot of real-time

benefits. Yet, the fullest potentials are

gained only if the 2 major issues of

security and reliability are rectified. There

are a few Research studies that try to

combine both these issues into one –

SRASA.

II. GET A GENERAL IDEA OF WHAT

SRASA IS ALL ABOUT

SRASA or Security and Reliability

Aware State Automaton (Bu et al., 2019) is

a Theoretical Framework that describes a

general, unified model of the 2 individual

entities reliability and security. Due to the

lack of a formal practise in cloud

computing technologies, the SRASA

framework has likely chances to describe

solutions to the issues of data privacy and

security through an orderly pattern. So

how does a system process these things?

Well, SRASA is a sketch based on

the idea of combining both abstract and

physical machine sates with a 22-tuple

finite machine modelling platform. As of

now, it is predicted that from the

functional level examination to a higher

stage of gate-level design, cloud

computing security frameworks similar to

SRASA should cover every aspect the

computer system in a unified automated

way. But this is not a simple process and

requires extensive knowledge and

expertise about all the factors that

influence the security and reliability of the

system.

Researchers have also suggested that it

would be possible to form a

generalized structure at first and then

moving onto the specified issues of

cloud computing.

Now, you might think whether

computing security and reliability is an

issue only with cloud platforms. The

answer would be NO (Yang et al., 2019)

because there are a few more computing-

related technologies that incur issues and

threat relating to data security and

reliability.

III. EXTENDING THE FOCUS OF

SECURITY ISSUES INTO OTHER

SUBJECT AREAS

More than expected attention is

present for the domains of blockchain

technology, smart grid, crypto-currencies

and Internet-of-Things (IoT) due to their

wide applications and perks. However,

there is a common line of a problem

among all the mentioned technologies.

None other than security.

Considering the edge of a

networking system, these technologies are

facing limited usage at times, due to the

threat of decentralized management

processes. Validity computation and data

storage are also backend challenges

considering computing platforms. Still,

these are issues only when the project gets

handled by large-scale requirements.

Scalability enhancement

Resource management

Reliable access

When it comes to enhancing

Computing Technology in a much better

way, then new security systems along with

are to be under development. One possible

approach to resolve all these faults is

through the creation of one single system

that integrates both blockchain technology

and edge computing, which is possible

only through the long-run.

The whole idea of computing

security and reliability would be

incomplete without finishing the concept

with 5G technology.

What happens if the upcoming 5G

(Han et al., 2019) technology is a secured

one?

The 5th

generation (5G) approach

of cloud or edge computing, if at all, a

highly secured platform for users, the

architecture would be more specialized

and formal in its performance. Moreover, a

decentralized structure, as stated before,

will give you the best applications possible

in a safe and secured environment. Check

out the following scenarios in a secured

computing zone with 5G technology;

Both the central cloud and the edge

cloud will comprise of a point of

attachment between the tenants and

mobile subscribers.

Gives a sense of freedom for tenant

governance and its subscribers as well.

Subscription services will be retained,

even if the connections related to

backhaul is not available or limited in

use.

From virtual networking to physical

modes, every subscriber would interact

and sustain works in a trustable and

safe environment.

IV. FINAL THOUGHTS

In the stance of discussing security

issues with computing, if you are a

researcher trying to focus on topics like

these, then have a thorough literature

analysis of your study. Cloud computing is

a booming industry and PhD Dissertation

Writing Service sites and scholars should

keep in mind that your primary focus

should be for security and reliability

(Tchernykh et al., 2019).

Note that, if you opt for writing

projects through any Eng. & CS

Dissertation Research proposal

service/help, then you should ensure to

provide the applications and benefits of

your project, alongside its limitations.

Specific researches like resource

computing, should include the presence of

risk confidentiality, review every

uncertainty of its use and suggest a

possible solution to avoid breach issues

such as denying access and information

leakage.
