Study and Analysis of Various Cloud Security, Authentication, and Data Storage Models: A Challenging Overview

Abstract

In recent days, widespread acceptance of cloud data storage applications increases various privacy problems and security problems. Outsourced data security is considered the main confrontation for cloud clients because of data control loss. This review presents a detailed survey of 50 research papers presenting privacy preservation approaches, namely authentication-based, cloud security-based, data storage-based, data security-based, and encryption-based techniques. The analysis is considered based on the categorization of approaches, dataset employed, utilized software tools, published year, and the performance metrics are discussed. Furthermore, problems raised in existing privacy preservation techniques are elucidated in the research gaps and problems section. The future work of this study is based on the research gaps and problems recognized from present research schemes. Additionally, JAVA software language is widely utilized for implementing privacy preservation models, and the Amazon access sample database is a commonly employed dataset for the privacy preservation approach.
