Security outlook for cloud computing: A proposed architectural-based security classification for cloud computing

摘要

Cloud computing concept can easily be described as a system in which multiple computers are attached to a real-time system using the internet and these systems share the resource as per user's demand with pay per use concept. This phenomenal property of cloud computing is responsible for a lot of advantages for the cloud customers. However, with the rapid growth of useful and sensitive information on cloud computing systems, a huge obstacle for cloud computing services still remains. Data security in any system decides the reliability of the processes associated with it, so proper countermeasures should be applied to ensure proper working. In this paper, we analyze complete security outlook of cloud architecture and cloud computing security aspects. The purpose of the study of this paper is to provide a classification based on the Cloud Security. We have studied the various security issues of Cloud Computing having “Confidentiality”, “Integrity” and “Availability” as a major concern.
