Securing Shared Data Storage
Škoda, Martin ; Hajný, Jan (referee) ; Malina, Lukáš (advisor)
This work presents the cloud computing model. It describes deployment models and distribution models of the cloud computing. The distribution models like software as a service and infrastructure as a service are described. Then the current solutions from companies Amazon.com, Microsoft and VMware and the description of security of the particular solutions are presented. The next section deals with data security in the cloud computing. In this section, the fundamental methods of data security (confidentiality, integrity and availability) and the examples of cryptographic methods used in the cloud computing are described. Further, the methods used for secure infrastructure and network (defense in depth), the protection of privacy and the security of data storage are described. Nowadays, the open problems are ensuring the protection of privacy of user data and data storage security auditing, which prevent users to gain trust in cloud computing. To solve these problems, Privacy as a Service (PasS), homomorphic encryption, privacy preserving data storage public auditing and Trusted Computing are described. In the final part of this work, the threads in the cloud computing environment and theirs countermeasures are analyzed. Finally, the design of model for securing shared data storage is proposed. Model is based on the previous findings. Model uses a tamper-proof hardware with cryptographic protections to ensure the privacy of computed data and the integrity of data stored on storage in the cloud computing.

Categorization of Cloud Computing Services
Morávek, Jan ; Karkošková, Soňa (advisor) ; Feuerlicht, Jiří (referee)
The thesis is focused on the introduction to issue of cloud computing and cloud computing services. The main objective is to categorization of services in accordance to several parameters, which tends as crucial factors of choosing cloud computing services. The conclusion is achieved by analyzing various cloud computing services and subsequent synthesis of the most important parameters. The results of this thesis are the definitions of relevant categories common for the distributed models of service. According to these a potential consumer may choose from provided cloud computing services. Individual categories are divided by their technological or organizational characteristics. The categories are further defined from the infrastructure-as-a-service model view. The thesis is divided into a theoretical and a practical part. While the theoretical part describes basic terminology, characteristics and division of models, the practical part is defined by three sections. The first section contains the definitions of the most important categories with given parameters of distribution models. In the second section, categories from the infrastructure-as-a-service view are defined. In the last section, an analysis of globally accessible services focused on the infrastructure-as-a-service is provided.

Cloud Computing and its Applications
Němec, Petr ; Voráček, Jan (advisor) ; Přibil, Jiří (referee)
This diploma work is focused on the Cloud Computing and its possible applications in the Czech Republic. The first part of the work is theoretical and describes accessible sources analysis related to its topic. Historical circumstances are given in the relation to the evolution of this technology. Also few definitions are quoted, followed by the Cloud Computing basic taxonomy and common models of use. The chapter named Cloud Computing Architecture covers the generally accepted model of this technology in details. In the part focused on theory are mentioned some of the services opearating on this technology. At the end the theoretical part brings possibility of the Cloud Computing usage from the customer's and supplier's perspective. The practical part of the diploma work is divided into sections. The first one brings results of the questionnare research, performed by the author in the Czech Republic, focused on the usage of the Cloud Computing and virtualization services. In the sekond section is pre-feasibility study. The study is focused on the providing SaaS Services in the area of long-term and safe digital data store. Lastly there is an author's view on the Cloud Computing technology future and possible evolution.

Cloud Computing as a BCM tool
Lukášová, Pavlína ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Dotlačil, Jaroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with possible interconnections between two concepts playing a big role in contemporary business and IT world. These concepts are Business Continuity Management and Cloud Computing. In the scope of this thesis there are certain areas identified where both concepts are complement, where Cloud Computing brings new opportunities for Business Continuity Management and where could possible problems arise during particular implementation. From the BCM perspective the impact lies on IT services, from the Cloud Computing perspective the thesis deals especially with security aspects. The thesis is also aimed at the characteristics of higher education and basic differences from commercial sphere. Based on defined differences and identified interconnections between BCM and Cloud Computing, the thesis argues for usage of suitable Cloud Computing solution for higher education regarding Business Continuity improvement. The multi-criterion comparison of several Infrastructure-as-a-Service solutions stems from this analysis focusing on technical, financial, and Business Continuity aspects. The result from this comparison together with conclusions from previous chapters serve as an input for subsequent practical proposal of Cloud Computing solution and its verification against Business Continuity improvement in specific conditions on University of Economics in Prague. The proposal is also represented by strategic map.
