Data Security and Data Privacy in Cloud Computing

Abstract:

Cloud computing has led to the development of IT to more sophisticated levels by improving the capacity and flexibility of data storage and by providing a scalable computation and processing power which matches the dynamic data requirements. Cloud computing has many benefits which has led to the transfer of many enterprise applications and data to public and hybrid clouds. However, many organizations refer to the protection of privacy and the security of data as the major issues which prevent them from adopting cloud computing. The only way successful implementation of clouds can be achieved is through effective enhancement and management of data security and privacy in clouds. This research paper analyzes the privacy and protection of data in cloud computing through all data lifecycle stages providing an overall perspective of cloud computing while highlighting key security issues and concerns which should be addressed. It also discusses several current solutions and further proposes more solutions which can enhance the privacy and security of data in clouds. Finally, the research paper describes future research work on the protection of data privacy and security in clouds.
