Cloud computing refers to the basic setup for an emerging model of service delivery, that has the advantage of decreasing the cost by sharing computing, infrastructure including storage resources. This can be combined with on-demand delivery mechanism relying on a pay-per-use model. Cloud computing offers an added level of risk because of essential services provided by it to a third party, which makes it difficult to maintain data privacy and security. Security in cloud computing is a critical aspect, which has various issues and challenges related to it. Cloud service providers/ brokers and the cloud service users should make aware of safety cloud. That is the cloud is safe enough from all kinds of the threats, so that the users do not face any problem like; loss of data or data theft. There is a possibility that, a malicious user can enters the cloud by imitating an authentic user, thus corrupt the entire cloud. It can affect many users who are sharing these types of clouds. This chapter mentions the list of parameters that disturb the security of the cloud. This also explores the cloud security issues and challenges faced by cloud service provider/brokers and cloud service users like; data, privacy, and infected application. Finally, it discusses the countermeasure for handling these issues and its challenges.

Cloud computing is a technology where it provides software, platform, infrastructure, security and everything as a service. But this technology faces many security issues because all the data or information are stored in the hands of the third party. The cloud users unable to know where the data are store in the cloud environment and also it is very difficult to analyze the trustworthiness of the cloud service providers. In this technology providing security is a very big challenging task. This challenge was overcome by developing different cloud security algorithms using cryptographic techniques. Recently many researchers identified that if the cryptographic algorithms are combined in a hybrid manner it will increase the security in the cloud environment. Even though, many research works are still carried out to improve security in the cloud computing environment. In this research article, a new step was taken to develop a new cloud security algorithm

Security Issues

Cloud is considered as future of Information Technology. User can utilized the cloud on pay-as-you use basis. But many organizations are stringent about the adoption of cloud computing due to their concern regarding the security of the stored data. Therefore, issues related to security of data in the cloud have become very vital. Data security involves encrypting the data and ensuring that suitable policies are imposed for sharing those data. There are several data security issues which need to be addressed. These issues are: data integrity, data intrusion, service availability, confidentiality and non-repudiation. Many schemes have been proposed for ensuring data security in cloud environment. But the existing schemes lag in fulfilling all these data security issues. In this chapter, a new Third Party Auditor based scheme has been proposed for secured storage and retrieval of client's data to and from the cloud service provider. The scheme has been analysed and compared with some of the existing schemes with respect to the security issues. From the analysis and comparison it can be observed that the proposed scheme performs better than the existing schemes.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) has been considered as a fundamental part of our day by day existence with billions of IoT devices gathering information remotely and can interoperate within the current Internet framework. Fog computing is nothing but cloud computing to the extreme of network security. It provides computation and storage services via CSP (Cloud Service Provider) to end devices in the Internet of Things (IoT). Fog computing allows the data storing and processing any nearby network devices or nearby cloud endpoint continuum. Using fog computing, the designer can reduce the computation architecture of the IoT devices. Unfortunitily, this new paradigm IoT-Fog faces numerous new privacy and security issues, like authentication and authorization, secure communication, information confidentiality. Despite the fact that the customary cloud-based platform can even utilize heavyweight cryptosystem to upgrade security, it can't be performed on fog devices drectly due to reseource constraints. Additionally, a huge number of smart fog devices are fiercely disseminated and situated in various zones, which expands the danger of being undermined by some pernicious gatherings. Trait Based Encryption (ABE) is an open key encryption conspire that enables clients to scramble and unscramble messages dependent on client qualities, which ensures information classification and hearty information get to control. Be that as it may, its computational expense for encryption and unscrambling stage is straightforwardly corresponding to the multifaceted nature of the arrangements utilized.

Cloud computing is one of the trending technologies that provide boundless virtualized resources to the internet users as an important services through the internet, while providing the privacy and security. By using these cloud services, internet users get many parallel computing resources at low cost. It predicted that till 2016, revenues from the online business management spent $4 billion for data storage. Cloud is an open source platform structure, so it is having more chances to malicious attacks. Privacy, confidentiality, and security of stored data are primary security challenges in cloud computing. In cloud computing, ‘virtualization’ is one of the techniques dividing memory into different blocks. In most of the existing systems there is only single authority in the system to provide the encrypted keys. To fill the few security issues, this paper proposed a novel authenticated trust security model for secure virtualization system to encrypt the files. The proposed security model achieves the following functions: 1) allotting the VSM(VM Security Monitor) model for each virtual machine; 2) providing secret keys to encrypt and decrypt information by symmetric encryption.The contribution is a proposed architecture that provides a workable security that a cloud service provider can offer to its consumers. Detailed analysis and architecture design presented to elaborate security model.
