Cloud computing is Internet ("cloud") based development and use of computer technology ("computing"). It is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Cloud computing uses the internet and the central remote servers to support different data and applications. It is an internet based technology. It permits the users to approach their personal files at any computer with internet access. The cloud computing flexibility is a function of the allocation of resources on authority’s request. Cloud computing provides the act of uniting. Scientific computing in the 21st century has evolved from fixed to distributed work environment. The current trend of CloudComputing (CC) allows accessing business applications from anywhere just by connecting to the Internet. Evidence shows that, switching to CC organizations' annual expenditure and maintenance are being reduced to a greater extent. However, there are several challenges that come along with various benefits of cloud computing. Among these include securityaspects. Our aim is to identify security challenges for adapting cloud computing and their solutions from real world for the challenge that do not have any proper mitigation strategies identified. This non-existence of global standards and guidelines could be help academics to know the state of practice and formulatebetter methods/standards to provide secure interoperability. The identified cloud computing security challenges and solutions can be referred by practitioners to understand which areas of security need to be concentrated while adapting/migrating to a cloud computing environment.

Data Technology industry has been utilizing the customary social databases for around 40 years. Be that as it may, in the latest years, there was a generous transformation in the IT business as far as business applications. Remain solitary applications have been supplanted with electronic applications, conferred servers with different proper servers and committed stockpiling with framework stockpiling. Lower expense, adaptability, the model of pay-as-you-go are the fundamental reasons, which caused the conveyed processing are transformed into reality. This is a standout amongst the hugest upsets in Information Technology, after the development of the Internet. Cloud databases, Big Table, Sherpa, and SimpleDB are getting the opportunity to be more natural to groups. They featured the hindrances of current social databases as far as convenience, adaptability, and provisioning. Cloud databases are basically utilized for data raised applications, for example, stockpiling and mining of gigantic information or business information. These applications are adaptable and multipurpose in nature. Various esteem based data organization applications, such as managing an account, online reservation, e-exchange and stock organization, and so on are delivered. Databases with the help of these sorts of uses need to incorporate four essential highlights: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability (ACID), in spite of the fact that utilizing these databases isn't basic for utilizing as a part of the cloud. The objective of this paper is to discover the points of interest and disservices of databases generally utilized in cloud frameworks and to survey the difficulties in creating cloud databases

The goal of this chapter is to explain the challenges that the forensic investigator faces when investigating Cloud Crime and how they can learn from the techniques used by Ethical Hackers to improve their investigation technique. The security threat posed by hackers on the Internet is constantly evolving. Cloud computing provides new avenues for hackers to exploit organizations, giving rise to new classes of vulnerability, and new security challenges. The forensic investigator must learn to “think like a hacker” so that they can reconstruct the path the hacker takes through the cloud environment. This chapter will explain how an Ethical Hacker works, how the Ethical Hacker views the Cloud, and in doing so illustrate the new challenges facing a forensic investigator.

Cloud Computing is gaining a considerable attention in the past few years, where hardware and software are provided on-demand as a service through internet following the simple pay-as-you-go financial model. Using such powerful technology, several projects, in different areas, have been built like supporting academic and scientific researches, providing governmental services, and developing business applications. Unfortunately, the previous works and ongoing researches in these areas are scattered among the literature, on the internet, and from research groups, which makes it hard for researchers to be involved in such vast wave of researches. This chapter carefully reviews the emergence of the Cloud in all of the above mentioned areas through a wide range of well classified researches, projects, and applications that have been either innovated or improved due to the Cloud disclosure. Moreover, the chapter comparatively discusses the previous work done in these fields and explores the opened research points.

Cloud Computing is a constantly evolving IT generic term used to refer to various IT solutions and services provided via the internet. Precisely, cloud computing can be said to be  the  delivery of scalable IT resources over the Internet, as opposed to hosting and operating those resources locally; these resources can include applications and services, as well as the infrastructure on which they operate (EDUCAUSE 2009). So instead of spending money on applications and hardware, individuals and businesses have access to same resources without the commitment of ownership to vendors who provide on-demand services such as Customer Relationship Management (CRM), off-site storage, hosted email solutions, secure web portals, etc. Despite some seemingly security challenges that confront total adoption of Cloud computing by business organizations and educational institutions, the benefits of using services provided by Cloud technology still outweigh the perceived challenges. It is the aim of this paper to present an expository review of services that can run on the cloud thereby providing excellent opportunities for business groups and academics institutions. The paper also provides a contribution to the propagation of the adoption of cloud technology.

The article analyses the possibility of how Cloud Computing can be used by libraries to organise activities online. In order to achieve a uniform understanding of the essence of technology SaaS, IaaS, and PaaS, the article discusses the Cloud Computing services, which can be used for the relocation of libraries to the Internet. The improvement of the general activity of libraries in the digital age, the analysis of the international experience in the libraries are examples. Also the article discusses the results of a survey of the Lithuanian scientific community that confirms that 90% of the scientific community is in the interest of getting full access to e-publications online. It is concluded that the decrease in funding for libraries, Cloud Computing can be an economically beneficial step, expanding the library services and improving their quality.

Cloud computing is an emerging technique by which anyone can access the applications as utilities over the internet. Cloud computing is the technology which comprises of all the characteristics of the technologies like distributed computing, grid computing, and ubiquitous computing. Cloud computing allows everyone to create, to configure as well as to customize the business applications online. Cryptography is the technique which is use to convert the plain text into cipher text using various encryption techniques. The art and science used to introduce the secrecy in the information security in order to secure the messages is defined as cryptography. In this paper we are going to review few latest Cryptographic algorithms which are used to enhance the security of the data on the cloud servers. We are comparing Short Range Natural Number Modified RSA (SRNN), Elliptic Curve Cryptography Algorithm, Client Side Encryption Technique and Hybrid Encryption Technique to secure the data in cloud.
