Abstract

Gathering personal information of individuals’, in return to provide different personalized services, continues to grow. The adaptability and flexibility of cloud that allows mobility of data access and multiple ownerships provide a favorable platform for users and service providers to adapt Cloud services for storing and accessing personal data. However data flow from one level to another service level of cloud may cause data loss or leakage and put the privacy of individuals at risk without them being aware of it. Ensuring privacy of information on Cloud, presents a major challenge to be tackled by future researchers. This paper aims at providing an overall picture of cloud privacy and security at its different level of architecture and discusses the proposed solutions. It will further provide detailed analyses of the various adopted techniques. We will also discuss Security-SLA as a security protection mechanism for cloud users. Further we will try to highlight the areas which can be further researched and make cloud a more secure place to store data.
