To balance load in cryptography cloud systems, a Virtual cipher machine Scheduling Method based on Entropy Weight Evaluation (VSMEWE) was proposed. In order to improve the quality of cryptography service and economize resources of cryptography cloud effectively, a virtual cipher machine migration selection solution was presented, according to the comparison results of comprehensive evaluation values of cloud cipher machine. To achieve the best comprehensive evaluation values, it evaluated the resource states of cloud cipher machine with the main indexes including the utilizations of resources, such as CPU, memory, network bandwidth and throughput bandwidth of cipher card. Finally, a migration selection scheme of virtual cipher machine was decided by the scheduling method. Compared with Entropy algorithm and Baseline algorithm, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has characteristics of wholeness and chronergy, the effect of load balancing is improved, and the execution efficiency is increased by 6.8% and 22.7% respectively.

Since the current cloud task scheduling algorithm in the cryptography cloud environment cannot achieve the target that tasks are processed in real-time, a real-time threshold scheduling method based on rolling optimization window was proposed. Firstly, a cryptography cloud service architecture was given by integrating the link of key calling into the process of cryptographic task; secondly, to realize real-time scheduling, a cryptographic task scheduler model based on the rolling window and a throughput analysis model which was used to obtain the real-time throughput data were established; finally, to meet the objective needs of high-speed cryptographic service for cloud tenants, a throughput threshold scheduling algorithm was proposed, which migrates virtual cipher machine in real-time according to the changes of real-time throughput relative to throughput threshold. The simulation results show that compared with the method without the rolling optimization window or virtual machine migration technology, the proposed method has characteristics of shorter task completion time and lower CPU utility, meanwhile the real-time throughput of it can be continuously kept in 70%-85% of the network bandwidth, thus verifying its effectiveness and real-time performance in the cryptography cloud environment.
