Abstract
As a new kind of distributed computing model, cloud computing develops rapidly and becomes the focus of academia and industry. With the growing popularity of cloud computing, the importance of its security issues shows a gradual upward trend and becomes an important factor in its progress. This chapter introduces the importance, advantages, and current development of cloud computing, points out that security risk is a major obstacle to the development of cloud computing, analyzes cloud computing security framework and its research status, emphasizes on the various security threats which the cloud computing is facing, and gives the methods and countermeasures of reducing the risk of cloud computing security.
