1. Implications of Security issues in cloud computing
Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software)
that are delivered as a service over a network.
Cloud computing allows application software to be operated using
internet-enabled devices. Clouds can be classified as public, private, and
hybrid
This Emerging computing paradigm offers attractive financial and
technological advantages.
cloud computing infrastructures use new technologies and services, some
of which haven’t been fully evaluated with respect to security.
Security is considered one of the most critical aspects in everyday
computing, and it is no different for cloud computing due to the sensitivity
and importance of data stored in the cloud. Cloud computing infrastructures
use new technologies and services, most which haven’t been fully evaluated
with respect to security.

3. • Cloud services are very exciting and useful, but have
many open security issues. One issue with cloud
computing is that the management of the data might not
be fully trustworthy
• The risk of malicious insiders in the cloud and the
failing of cloud services have received a strong attention
by companies. Security is a troubling concern for cloud
computing as shown in a Survey conducted by the IDC
enterprise panel which confirms that Security is the top
concern of cloud users.
• Cloud Security is one of the major issue that need to be
addressed in allow faster growth of cloud computing.
4. • Cloud Computing has several major issues and
concerns, such as data security, trust,
expectations, regulations, and performance
issues.
• The aim of this research is to examine the major
security issues affecting Cloud Systems and the
solutions available.
• Research is currently being done on the different
known issues faced by cloud systems and possible
solutions for these issues, however there is still a
need for better solutions if cloud systems are to
be widely adopted.
5. • One of the main problems that need to be addressed is
coming up with a clear and standardized format for the
Service Level Agreement (SLA), a format that fully
documents all of the services, what services and processes
would be provided by the service provider to back up its
assurances. When customers have the right level of
expectations and the insecurities are deemed manageable,
cloud computing as a whole will gain ground and take
hold as usable technology.
6. • Another major issue cloud systems face is Encryption.
Encryption is the main method of ensuring security of data
stored in the cloud; however, encryption is computationally
expensive. Encryption methods specific to DaaS (Cloud
Databases) has been developed and more research is
currently being done on Encryption mechanisms for cloud
systems, however, more efficient methods are still needed
to help accelerate the adoption of cloud systems.
7. Current Problems and Solutions
• Trust
• Legal Issues
• Confidentiality
• Authenticity (Integrity and Completeness)
• Encryption
– Querying Encrypted Data
– Key Management
– Data Splitting
– Multi-clouds Database Model (MCDB)
Multi-Tenancy
Virtual Machine Attacks
Shared Resources
8. • 1) Encryption techniques using hash function
with cryptographic nonce number
• 2) with out concern of third party(service
provider) end user has to store and retrieve
data with encrypted form.( traffic
confidentiality .. Ip based routing ).
• SLA
• Username password
