  1. Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing Ragib HasanJohns Hopkins Universityen.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 02/01/2010

  2. Threats, vulnerabilities, and enemies Goal Learn the cloud computing threat model by examining the assets, vulnerabilities, entry points, and actors in a cloud Technique Apply different threat modeling schemes en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  3. Assignment for next class • Review: Thomas Ristenpart et al., Hey, You, Get Off of My Cloud! Exploring Information Leakage in Third-Party Compute Clouds, proc. ACM CCS 2009. • Format: • Summary: A brief overview of the paper, 1 paragraph (5 / 6 sentences) • Pros: 3 or more issues • Cons: 3 or more issues • Possible improvements: Any possible suggestions to improve the work • Due: 2.59 pm 2/8/2010 • Submission: By email to rhasan7@jhu.edu (text only, no attachments please) en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  4. Threat Model A threat model helps in analyzing a security problem, design mitigation strategies, and evaluate solutions Steps: • Identify attackers, assets, threats and other components • Rank the threats • Choose mitigation strategies • Build solutions based on the strategies en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  5. Threat Model Basic components • Attacker modeling • Choose what attacker to consider • Attacker motivation and capabilities • Assets / Attacker Goals • Vulnerabilities / threats en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  6. Recall: Cloud Computing Stack en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  7. Recall: Cloud Architecture SaaS / PaaS Provider Client Cloud Provider (IaaS) en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  8. Attackers en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  9. Who is the attacker? • Insider? • Malicious employees at client • Malicious employees at Cloud provider • Cloud provider itself • Outsider? • Intruders • Network attackers? en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  10. Attacker Capability: Malicious Insiders • At client • Learn passwords/authentication information • Gain control of the VMs • At cloud provider • Log client communication en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  11. Attacker Capability: Cloud Provider • What? • Can read unencrypted data • Can possibly peek into VMs, or make copies of VMs • Can monitor network communication, application patterns en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  12. Attacker motivation: Cloud Provider • Why? • Gain information about client data • Gain information on client behavior • Sell the information or use itself • Why not? • Cheaper to be honest? • Why? (again) • Third party clouds? en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  13. Attacker Capability: Outside attacker • What? • Listen to network traffic (passive) • Insert malicious traffic (active) • Probe cloud structure (active) • Launch DoS en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  14. Attacker goals: Outside attackers Intrusion Network analysis Man in the middle Cartography en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  15. Assets en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  16. Assets (Attacker goals) • Confidentiality: • Data stored in the cloud • Configuration of VMs running on the cloud • Identity of the cloud users • Location of the VMs running client code en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  17. Assets (Attacker goals) • Integrity • Data stored in the cloud • Computations performed on the cloud en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  18. Assets (Attacker goals) • Availability • Cloud infrastructure • SaaS / PaaS en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  19. Threats en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  20. Organizing the threats using STRIDE Spoofing identity Tampering with data Repudiation Information disclosure Denial of service Elevation of privilege en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  21. Typical threats [STRIDE] en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  22. Typical threats (contd.) [STRIDE] en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  23. Summary A threat model helps in designing appropriate defenses against particular attackers Your solution and security countermeasures will depend on the particular threat model you want to address en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan

  24. Further Reading Frank Swiderski and Window Snyder , “Threat Modeling “, Microsoft Press, 2004 The STRIDE Threat Model en.600.412 Spring 2010 Lecture 2 | JHU | Ragib Hasan
