Secure Cloud Computing through Homomorphic EncryptionMaha Tebaa, Said El Hajji
Go to the cloud, has always been the dream of man. Cloud Computing offers a number of benefits and services to its customers who pay the use of hardware and software resources (servers hosted in data centers, applications, software...) on demand which they can access via internet without the need of expensive computers or a large storage system capacity and without paying any equipment maintenance fees. But these cloud providers must provide guarantees on the protection of privacy and sensitive data stored in their data centers shared between multiple clients using the concept of virtualization.

Network Access Control Technology - Proposition to contain new security challengesAbdelmajid Lakbabi, Ghizlane Orhanou, Said El Hajji
Traditional products working independently are no longer sufficient, since threats are continually gaining in complexity, diversity and performance; In order to proactively block such threats we need more integrated information security solution. To achieve this objective, we will analyze a real-world security platform, and focus on some key components Like, NAC, Firewall, and IPS/IDS then study their interaction in the perspective to propose a new security posture that coordinate and share security information between different network security components, using a central policy server that will be the NAC server or the PDP (the Policy Decision Point), playing an orchestration role as a central point of control. Finally we will conclude with potential research paths that will impact NAC technology evolution.

Security of the DNS Protocol - Implementation and Weaknesses Analyses of DNSSECKaouthar Chetioui, Ghizlane Orhanou, Said El Hajji et al.
Today, Internet offers many critical applications. So, it becomes very crucial for Internet service providers to ensure traceability of operations and to secure data exchange. Since all these communications are based on the use of the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol, it becomes necessary to think to enhance and secure it by proposing a secure version of this protocol that can correct the whole or a part of the DNS protocol weaknesses and vulnerabilities. In this context, DNSsec was created by the IETF to ensure the integrity of DNS data and authentication of the source of such data. DNSsec is based on the key cryptography public to provide different security services. In the present paper, we will present first the DNS protocol and its weaknesses. After that, we will be interested in studying the DNSsec implementation and data exchange, and then give a deep analysis of its weaknesses.
