Design Issues of a Hybrid Wrapping Attack Protecting Scheme in Cloud Computing Environment

In the cloud era, cloud security and user privacy have become important issues. Since cloud users often use web browsers to request services from the cloud service providers, when a signed message request is sent to the service receiver from the service provider, attackers can use wrapping attacks to tamper with the SOAP message transferred through the internet in order to avoid legal verifications and access web services without being detected to implement wrapping attacks. This paper is to integrate and improve Node Counting mechanism to propose a hybrid wrapping attack protection scheme called HWRAP.
