Cloud computing, a remote technology that enlightens with several on-demand services. Cloud computing developed with a principle of sharing resources available as per the company needs. Prominent cloud services utilized today are networking, storage, servers, software’s, etc. Cloud computing's distributed nature and advanced features create a remarkable footprint in the IT field. It is fair to say without cloud technology the next technical era can't exist. However the cloud computing widely spaced, simultaneous some serious challenges still exists. As per the real-time scenario, there are several challenges still alive, but among which privacy and security are prominent to take concern. Among which the trustworthiness of third-party providers increases the attention on developing an enhanced cloud system. In this paper, we proposed an improved double encryption-decryption (IDED) method for a secure cloud system. The main intention of the proposed work is increasing the privacy and security for the cloud users. The principle applied to the proposed methodology is double encryption and double decryption. The encrypted files are decrypted to view the original data using the keys. These keys are available only to the authenticated users which ensures the system's privacy and security in all manner. The mechanism is processed under the query system of sending and response from the data authority

Cloud computing is expanding in reach, with its utility-based features and enhanced agility. Still, there is a big concern about the privacy and security of the data. Because of these concerns, third-party cloud users are employing the cloud only for less sensitive data, and the advantage of cloud computing is not fully harnessed. In order to ensure the privacy and security of data, proper compliance and regulatory standards become very important for the cloud domain. Although a number of such standards exist for the traditional computing, they must be modified for their wider adoption to the cloud platforms. This chapter considers the worldwide available standards in the technical and non-technical categories for wider coverage of the cloud platforms. In the technical category, security standards presently followed by cloud computing have been discussed, while in the non-technical category, privacy and accounting standards like HIPPA, SAS 70, GAPP, etc. have been considered.

The use of Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly growing and a huge amount of data is being generated by IoT devices. Cloud computing is a natural candidate to handle this data since it has enough power and capacity to process, store and control data access. Moreover, this approach brings several benefits to the IoT, such as the aggregation of all IoT data in a common place and the use of cloud services to consume this data and provide useful applications. However, enforcing user privacy when sending sensitive information to the cloud is a challenge. This work presents and evaluates an architecture to provide privacy in the integration of IoT and cloud computing. The proposed architecture, called PROTeCt—Privacy aRquitecture for integratiOn of internet of Things and Cloud computing, improves user privacy by implementing privacy enforcement at the IoT devices instead of at the gateway, as is usually done. Consequently, the proposed approach improves both system security and fault tolerance, since it removes the single point of failure (gateway). The proposed architecture is evaluated through an analytical analysis and simulations with severely constrained devices, where delay and energy consumption are evaluated and compared to other architectures. The obtained results show the practical feasibility of the proposed solutions and demonstrate that the overheads introduced in the IoT devices are worthwhile considering the increased level of privacy and security.

Cloud computing systems offer an attractive alternative to traditional IT-systems, because of economic benefits that arise from the cloud's scalable and flexible IT-resources. The benefits are of particular interest for SME's. The reason is that using Cloud Resources allows an SME to focus on its core business rather than on IT-resources. However, numerous concerns about the security of cloud computing services exist. Potential cloud customers have to be confident that the cloud services they acquire are secure for them to use. Therefore, they have to have a clear set of security requirements covering their security needs. Eliciting these requirements is a difficult task, because of the amount of stakeholders and technical components to consider in a cloud environment. Therefore, the authors propose a structured, pattern-based method supporting eliciting security requirements and selecting security measures. The method guides potential cloud customers to model the application of their business case in a cloud computing context using a pattern-based approach. Thus, a potential cloud customer can instantiate our so-called Cloud System Analysis Pattern. Then, the information of the instantiated pattern can be used to fill-out our textual security requirements patterns and individual defined security requirement patterns, as well. The presented method is tool-supported. Our tool supports the instantiation of the cloud system analysis pattern and automatically transfers the information from the instance to the security requirements patterns. In addition, they have validation conditions that check e.g., if a security requirement refers to at least one element in the cloud. The authors illustrate their method using an online-banking system as running example.
