Abstract: In cloud platforms, large amount of energy is consumed by execution of scientific workflow. So, VMs has to be deployed in energy efficient manner. Throughout the world, wide attention is attracted by cloud platform's energy consumption. Cooling systems, light systems, network peripherals, monitors, console, processor's cooling fan, server running consumes large amount of power in a cloud data centre. In order to face these issues, energy-aware resource allocation method is proposed in this work, which is termed as EnReal. For execution of scientific workflow, virtual machines are deployed dynamically which focus on current e-health standards and solutions. In general e-health systems, client platform security is not addressed by this method which is an important factor to be considered. In e-health domain infrastructures, for privacy establishment, new particle swarm optimisation (PSO) with cryptography-based security algorithm (PSOCA) is proposed in this work. Controlled environment can be created by this for data's privacy easy management as well as for security. For experimentation, CloudSim framework is adapted in cloud simulation environment. Hence the proposed method is evaluated using various parameters like energy consumption and resource utilisation.

Keywords: cloud security; cloud computing; resource allocation; cryptography; energy-aware method.
