Cloud Agent-Based Encryption Mechanism (CAEM): A Security Framework Model for Improving Adoption, Implementation and Usage of Cloud Computing Technology

摘要

Fast Growth of (ICT) Information and Communication Technology results to Innovation of Cloud Computing and is considered as a key driver for technological innovations, as an IT innovations, cloud computing had added a new dimension to that importance by increasing usage to technology that motivates economic development at the national and global levels. Continues need of higher storage space (applications, files, videos, music and others) are some of the reasons for adoption and implementation, Users and Enterprises are gradually changing the way and manner in which Data and Information are been stored. Storing/Retrieving Data and Information traditionally using Standalone Computers are no longer sustainable due to high cost of Peripheral Devices, This further recommends organizational innovative adoption with regards to approaches on how to effectively reduced cost in businesses. Cloud Computing provides a lot of prospects to users/organizations; it also exposes security concerns which leads to low adoption, implementation and usage. Therefore, the study will examine standard ways of improving cloud computing adoption, implementation and usage by proposing and developing a security model using a design methodology that will ensure a secured Cloud Computing and also identify areas where future regularization could be operational.
