Security Issues in Cloud Computing: A Study

Abstract

Cloud computing is the study of using remote servers which are hosted on the internet to deliver on-demand computing resources on pay-for-use basis rather than a local server. It provides online services via third party which own the infrastructure. Due to the openness of cloud computing systems, customers have concerns about security point of view in the adoption of the services which they provide. The purpose of this paper is to give a detail regarding to the data security and privacy safety issues in cloud computing systems. A security architecture discussed in this paper to provide security measures. In this architecture it can be seen that every level provides security measures in different ways. Then this paper will also discuss some of the current available solutions. According to the findings of this research, in the designing phase of the applications which are based on cloud, there should be taken security measures to increase the trust level of customers’ and organizations.
