Abstract: The adoption and diffusion of the cloud are threatened by unresolved security issues. Our proposed work is to protect the integrity of the guest virtual machines and infrastructure components while remaining fully transparent to virtual machines and to cloud users. Various attacks like Denial of services(DOS), Honeypots, password hacking by the hackers affects the availability, integrity and confidentiality of the cloud. The proposed work is to provide a security framework for the cloud. The effectiveness of the system against the attack is tested.
