Abstract

Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence that provides systems with the capacity to learn automatically and improve them from previously acquired experience without being explicitly programmed. Network security protocol is a type of network-related protocol that ensures the protection and integrity of data while transmission over a network connection. Network security protocols describe the processes and methodology to protect the network data from any unlawful attempt to evaluate or extract the contents of data. The growth of network communications creates the cloud services as major breakthrough to change the resource utilization and it provides all types of services to the end users. The security breaches and data-security-related threats are together creating a major issue in cloud services. The user’s data are targeted as prey by the offenders and the active attacks or passive attacks were initialized to analyze the weakness in the cloud services. The identified weakness will be used as a loophole by attackers to execute their attacks on the cloud service. Moreover, the cloud services are designed to maintain and provide the data security to their users. In particular, ...
