Abstract

Users of computer networks may benefit from cloud computing, which is a fairly new abstraction that offers features like processing as well as the sharing and storing of data. As a result of the services it provides, cloud computing is drawing significant investments from across the world. Despite this, Cloud Computing Security continues to be one of the most important issues for businesses and consumers that use cloud computing systems. A few of the security flaws that are associated with cloud computing were passed down from earlier computer systems. In contrast, the other flaws were brought about by the distinctive qualities and design of cloud computing. The newly developed platform has measures that restrict data access to just those users who are authorized to do so. Using the user’s identification and authentication/authorization information, a third-party service is responsible for managing access to the data. This service checks on all requests. Sensitive information and facts pertaining to users are encrypted both while in transit and while being stored. The platform was put into operation, analysed, and compared to other cloud platforms that were already in existence in terms of how effective it was in comparison to other platforms. When compared to the other security platforms, the findings demonstrated that this platform performed as anticipated in a relatively short amount of time and offered robust protection against the acts of an intruder.
