The paper presents an original solution for secure user access and authorization for cloud-service users and administrators in a multi-platform environment. The solution enables user authentication for clouds provided as Infrastructure-as-a-Service system built up from different OS systems. The solution enables the use of different services based on credentials that are authenticated only once and enable simple and efficient administration of the relevant user data. The problem of user authentication during the access process to the cloud infrastructure is briefly presented and the security aspect of the user and system administrator requirements for a secure and efficient authentication system enabling single sign-on access to the multi-platform cloud computing infrastructure. The implemented solution for two different platforms and the associated OS, one proprietary (WMware) and one open-source (OpenStack), is presented and the benefits are outlined.

The goal of this published research was to provide and confirm the valuability of a structural model that assesses the user trust and their awareness of privacy protection over ad hoc and mobile telecommunication networks. The structural model was developed in order to serve as a comprehensive research approach for further investigation of the user trust in the on-line services, and the correlation between the level of trust enjoyed by the telecommunications market stakeholders, countries’ welfare, and the level of information society development. The model has proven the dependencies among these factors and the value as a research tool for the investigated field of research was confirmed.

Critical infrastructure has a key role in functioning of today’s society. In the project, we developed an enhanced structural model for analysis and visualisation of information attacks on critical telecommunication infrastructure. The presentation of the attacks is sufficiently detailed and includes many details about the events during the attack. By using our newly developed enhanced structural model the information attacks can be presented in a more detailed and transparent manner, which contributes to the improvement of security analysis during the development of systems as well as the analysis of previous information attacks.
