Security Issues in Cloud and Mobile cloud: A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract

ABSTRACT Cloud computing is one of the rapidly growing technologies in computing. It includes many benefits such as improved reliability, enormous scalability, decreased costs, portability, enhanced geographic coverage with fastest time, less infrastructure investment though it has challenges such as data security, insufficient resources, skill, etc. For past few years, cloud computing has grown considerably in information technology. Safety of information is a great concern as enormous information of individuals and companies was being stored in cloud. Many software giants such as Microsoft joined hands to build cloud services. The growth of cloud computing had been affected by data security issues, which leads to complexity with data privacy and protection. The objective of this work is to study and analyze the security issues in cloud computing. The security issues pertaining to network, data, application, storage, and information in cloud domain with the algorithms and tools deployed were addressed and reviewed elaborately.
