Data transmissions required for inter-cloud federation in the complex inter-cloud networking system are often point-to-multi points, which calls for a more effective and efficient multicast routing algorithm in complex networking systems. In this paper, we investigate the multicast routing problem in the inter-cloud context with K constraints where K ≥ 2. Unlike most of existing algorithms that are too complex to be applied in practical scenarios, a novel and fast algorithm for establishing multicast routing tree for interclouds is proposed. The proposed algorithm leverages an entropybased process to aggregate all weights into a comprehensive metric, and then uses it to search a multicast tree(MT) on the basis of the shortest path tree(SPT). We conduct complexity analysis and extensive simulations for the proposed algorithm from the approximation perspective. Both analytical and experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm is more efficient than a representative multi-constrained multicast routing algorithm in terms of both speed and accuracy, and thus we believe that the proposed algorithm is applicable to the inter-cloud environment.展开更多

However, the interactions between clouds have challenges in information disclosure, services spoofing and information inconsistent. This paper proposes a secure interaction and control method for inter-clouds services, which uses information encryption, digital signature,time logic control means, to protect users' privacy and keep the integrity and consistency of cloud customers' request information, and prevent the spoofing of information requests. The results show that the method could prevent the spoofing well in a stable network environment and improve the security of clouds sessions.展开更多
