Cloud computing is an expansive scale disseminated computing worldview driven by economies of scale, in which a pool of disconnected, virtualized, powerfully adaptable, exceptionally accessible, and configurable and reconfigurable computing resources can be immediately provisioned and released with irrelevant organization effort in the data centers. Moving data into the cloud offers magnificent solace to customers since they don 't have to consider the complexities of direct hardware organization. The pioneer of cloud computing dealers, Amazon Essential Storage Service (S3), and Amazon Flexible Figure Cloud (EC2) [2] are both definitely comprehended representations. While these electronic online services do give enormous measures of storage space and versatile computing resources, this computing stage shift, then again, is discarding the commitment of adjacent machines for data support meanwhile. Accordingly, customers are vulnerable before their cloud service provider (CSP) for the openness and dependability of their data. A. Features This includes various use of web based services to bolster business process, rent IT-services on any utility-like premise, unlimited storage, and the

Scope reaches out to issues of administration, governance, trust and
Usage of remote servers via internet to store, manage and process data instead of using a personal computer is known as Cloud computing. It’s a set of Information Technology services with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Most of the cloud services are provided by a third party service provider. In cloud computing, organizations can utilize IT services without in advance investment. Despite its benefits obtained from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges. Security is one of the major problems which hinder the growth of cloud. It’s not wise to handing over the important data to another company; such that clients need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data infringement in this new environment. This paper discusses a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges. (Ayoleke)
First, when computers or PCs were introduced, they literally took the space of the whole room. They were heavy and bulky but still had many limitations in terms of what can those PC actually do or perform daily human tasks. As PCs have evolved, the new software’s have also evolved. A software that satisfies the needs of sending secure data over the Internet is called cloud computing. With PCs, cloud computing has evolved to another level making it easier and simpler to use and provide others with secure information. One problem that is faced by cloud computing organization is the doubt of it keeping files secured. Security reasons are the main concern for cloud computing since everything is over the Internet. On the other
In the past few years cloud computing has become the latest mainstream technology for individuals and businesses(McDermott, 2009). Cloud defines the use of assembly of services, infrastructure, information and applications which are comprised of pools of network, compute, information and storage assets. The cloud is a centralized shared data storage network that enables an individual or business to be able to store personal data such as: personal files, images and videos etc.(Camp, 2009). It offers the convenience to be able to store personal data in one centralized location and allows easy access to the data even from a remote location by use of user assigned passwords and user login details. This concept may sound straight forward, easy and user friendly but cloud computing poses potential security threats that can possibly put the user’s privacy and security at risk in case another party is able to log in their account, resulting in an unsafe storage of their personal information. Users are assured that their data is safe and won’t be exploited, however the user does not have control where the data is being stored and cannot track precisely how well their data is being protected(McDermott, 2009). In most cases, users just rely on trust and confidence to their storage provider that they can be able to securely store their data and prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the data. This means users are unsure of who and what may be accessing their data and
From the viewpoint of data security, which has always been an important form of quality of service, Cloud computing surely poses new challenging security threats for number of reasons. Firstly, traditional cryptographic primitives for the purpose of data security protection cannot be straight accepted due to users loss control of data under cloud computing. Therefore, verification of correct data storage in the cloud must be attended without accurate knowledge of the whole data. Considering different kind of data for every user stored in the cloud and the requirement of long term continuous security of their data safety, the problem of checking correctness of data storage in the cloud becomes even more challenging.[1]
Internet has been developing very rapidly in wide range. It has become available and accessible for everyone. However, other issues such as storage size, the power consumed by equipment and hardware cost have been constantly increasing. The storage space in data center is no longer meeting our increasing demands. The innovation of cloud computing has emerged in an attempt to solve these and other environmental problems. This make software even more attractive as a service and shaping the way hardware is designed and purchased. According to Architectural requirements for cloud computing systems: An enterprise cloud approach, “The overarching goal of Cloud Computing is to provide on-demand computing services with high reliability, scalability, and availability in distributed environments. Despite this common goal, Cloud Computing has been described in many different ways and no standard definition has been adopted until now.”
C RYPTOGRAPHY T ECHNIQUES The cloud service providers should address the still open cloud security problems in order to encourage users to use this technology. The most important concerns are confidentiality, integrity and availability. In a complex and non-transparent system like cloud computing, it is difficult for a user to even determine what kind of security measures are implemented in the cloud. This section presents Cryptography, as one of the security measure that can be implemented.
ABSTRACT: Cloud computing is nothing but an internet based connection to remote servers which allows to store data and access to all services. These services are provided by the third party who owns the infrastructure. Cloud computing is classified into public, private or hybrid. It is a kind of grid computing. It is flexible and easy to adapt. Apart from advantages organizations are very slow in processing the customer resources because it has some security issues and challenges associated with it. Security is the main issue which is becoming a big hurdle for the growth of cloud computing. The companies are worrying to handle some important data to other companies due to these security challenges. This paper is going to give brief
Cloud storage has been employed to provide online storage services for various kind of users having different requirements. It provides great flexibility in the sense that users can take advantage of the services from any location just with the availability of the internet connection. The data backup and storage facilities provided by cloud computing allow the users to store their information in the cloud, thus providing them the benefits of easy access, protection and reliability (as data is stored in multiple sites). However, the users are unsure and unaware about where their data is specifically stored and who all can have access to their data stored in the cloud. This makes the security and privacy of users’ data critical. In this project we aim at doing an analysis of the security schemes employed by different cloud vendors to avoid the security and privacy intrusion of the user 's information stored in their respective backup services. Different providers of the cloud storage services address the problem of security and privacy in their cloud through various ways and may come up with different schemes. There have been various studies catering to the individual scenarios and past security and privacy breaches in the cloud. However, this project aims to study the various techniques to provide a holistic view of the various threats to this technology and analyzed the following cloud storage services in terms of the cryptographic schemes employed for the data
The National Institute of Standards and Technology describes cloud storage as a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand network access to a shared configurable computing resources that can be swiftly accessed and released with minimal effort or service provider collaboration. It is comprised of a collection of hardware and software that allows the infrastructure of the cloud to work in a seamless, unified effort. Depending on the classification of information and the service provider the remote servers can be located within the same facility. The stored data is
The development of cloud computing services is speeding up the rate in which the organizations outsource their computational services or sell their idle computational resources. Even though migrating to the cloud remains a tempting trend from a financial perspective, there are several other aspects that must be taken into account by companies before they decide to do so. One of the most important aspect refers to security: while some cloud computing security issues are inherited from the solutions adopted to create such services, many new security questions that are particular to these solutions also arise, including those related to how the services are organized and which kind of service/data can be placed in the cloud. Aiming to give a better understanding of this complex scenario, in this article we identify and classify the main security concerns and solutions in cloud computing, and propose a taxonomy of security in cloud computing, giving an overview of the current status of security in this emerging technology.
Cloud storage service has become a new profit growth point by providing a low-cost, scalable, location-independent platform for managing clients’ data. The data security is critical and the customers trust that the information is safe in the storage, because the cloud infrastructures are powerful than regular personal computer devices. Data integrity verification is one of the most basic and critical techniques in outsourced cloud storage. The reason for the existence of private cloud is that it offers the greatest level of security and control for enterprises’ sensitive data, hence security risks are less as compared to those stored
What we now commonly refer to as cloud computing is the result of an evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service-oriented architecture, autonomic, and utility computing. Details such as the location of infrastructure or component devices are unknowns to most end-users, who no longer need to
The reason for the author selecting to look at literature regarding cloud security within this review is because of how it ties in with a Computing Science degree currently being worked towards at Staffordshire University. One of the modules being studied involves the creation of a database system, with the client formally requesting a cloud-based data centre as part of their system. Therefore, it would interesting to take an in-depth look at the security concerns surrounding what is a technology that is still within its infancy stage.
Cloud computing is a topic of which much is assumed. The average person recognizes the term “cloud computing” as having to do with their storage from their iPad or iPhone on the online storage area which syncs their Apple devices to their computer. This common cloud is called the iCloud. That is where common knowledge ends about this topic. However, upon further exploration, a deeper understanding is gained with greater explanation, and it is realized that cloud computing is something that is used all of the time on many levels of everyday technology. While the terminology remains cryptic to the mind of most people, the concepts behind the practical uses of cloud computing become quite clear. It is relatable and understandable. Upon this revelation, the iCloud is recognized as the tip of the preverbal iceberg when speaking about cloud computing. It is important to discuss and further understand the many types of cloud computing as well as the various applications to life through technology. This affects how information is stored online, computers are protected, information is secured, emails are processed, and many other factors that are taken for granted in the world of technology. Cloud computing is a general term used to describe how information is stored, utilized, and accessed over the internet. There is no cloud, but the word cloud gives the connotation of an abstract place which is known to exist but is too vast to touch or contain (Griffith,
