Security and Privacy Issues in Cloud Computing

Cloud computing transforming the way of information technology (IT) for consuming and managing, promising improving cost efficiencies, accelerate innovations, faster time-to-market and the ability to scale applications on demand (Leighton, 2009). According to Gartner, while the hype grew ex-ponentially during 2008 and continued since, it is clear that there is a major shift towards the cloud computing model and that the benefits may be substantial (Gartner Hype-Cycle, 2012). However, as the shape of the cloud computing is emerging and developing rapidly both conceptually and in reality, the legal/contractual, economic, service quality, interoperability, security and privacy issues still pose significant challenges. In this chapter, we describe various service and deployment models of cloud computing and identify major challenges. In particular, we discuss three critical challenges: regulatory, security and privacy issues in cloud computing. Some solutions to mitigate these challenges are also proposed along with a brief presentation on the future trends in cloud computing deployment

A Review of Security Issues in Cloud Computing

Nowadays Cloud computing, as one of the focus point in IT world, it has drawn great attention. Many big IT companies like IBM, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo develop cloud computing systems and related products to customers. However, there are still many difficulties for customers to adopt cloud computing, in which manly many security issues exist, because data of a customer is stored and processed in cloud, not in a local machine. This paper I will briefly introduces cloud computing and its key concepts. Specially, we aim to discuss security requirements and security issues in cloud computing. We will discuss security issues in data and virtualization in cloud computing

Development of Cloud Computing and Security Issues

In past three decades, the computing world is based on the Internet, featured by the rapid development and application of computer technology. The cloud computing model is one of the very important  shapes of a new era. This technology based on the distributed  computing, parallel computing, grid computing, Virtualization technologies, property- based remote attestation technologies, etc.  The cloud computing market and development are growing rapidly and bringing up numerous challenges and big  security issues of the today's world. Some  issues concern on the cloud computing is  the security and confidentiality of user data in terms of its location, relocation, availability and security. In this paper we will focus on the basic way of cloud computing development, growths and common security issues arising from the usage of cloud services.

Cloud Computing: User’s Perceptions About Security Issues

Cloud Computing, combination of parallel computing, grid computing, distributed computing and others, is the next generation internet based computing system which provides easy and customizable services to the users for storing and accessing cloud data from anywhere by connecting the cloud using internet. Cloud computing is a pay as you go method of computing for which organizations save millions of their costing. Despite having numerous advantages of cloud computing, it is entitled to some problems. Among those security issues are the most important which need to be considered as client data is transferred to cloud and the responsibility of ensuring security is vested to the cloud providers. If we want to make the growth and development of cloud computing then that security issues need to be resolved immediately which will increase the acceptability of the cloud to the users. As providing security is a major concern, security challenges needs to be addressed before implementing cloud computing in the organization.

Data Security in Cloud Storage

Cloud Computing is a generic term for delivering hosted services over the Internet. It follows a pay-per-use approach. Cloud Computing offers numerous benefits for the enterprises, however, there are also many issues, as with any new paradigm or technology. One of the main issues relate to the security and confidentiality of customer data in terms of its location, relocation, availability and security. From the consumer’s perspective, cloud computing security concerns, especially data security, remain the primary inhibitor for adoption of cloud computing services. This reports outlines the Cloud technology overview, brief explains the delivery and deployment models for data storage security, analysis on data security and discusses the issues relating to data in the Cloud computing across all stages of data life cycle
