摘要：Cloud Computing has emerged to be one of the fast growing technology with a lot of devices being partof the cloud. A lot of applications have been deployed into the cloud for use by different users ranging from businessapplications, gaming applications, educational applications, health applications and other scientific applications. Asdifferent hardware, software and services are being deployed to provide cloud computing also a great number ofvulnerabilities, attacks and threats arise that becomes an issue to the integrity, confidentiality and availability of cloudcomputing. The paper Covert Transfer between Virtual Machines in Cloud Computing looks at how covert transfersmay compromise the security measure placed for cloud computing. Covert Transfers cause information leaks that affectthe integrity, availability and confidentiality of cloud computing resources. Although achieving 100% security isunrealistic we aim to propose countermeasures that would give a favorable cost/benefit analysis for the consumers andproviders of the services. We shall look into some of the issues that may cause the covert transfers.
