Abstract

Cloud Computing appears as a computational model and a distributive architecture framework. The main objectives of cloud computing are to provide secure, quick, convenient data storage and net computing service, with all computing resources visualized as services and delivered over the Internet. The term “Cloud Computing” has been in the spotlights of IT, CS and CE specialists in the last years because of its potential to transform this industry. Security in Cloud Computing is an important and critical aspect, and has numerous issues and problem related to it. Cloud service provider and the cloud service consumer should make sure that the cloud is safe enough from all the external threats so that the customer does not face any problem such as loss of data or data theft. This research presents and classifies the factors that affect the security of the cloud then it explores the cloud security issues and problems faced by cloud service provider and cloud service consumer. The main goal of this research study is to introduce a comparable analysis for the proposed security issues, the security categories, and the cloud computing services.
