Data security in the cloud continues to be a huge concern. The adoption of cloud services continues to increase with more businesses transitioning from on premise technology infrastructures to outsourcing cloud-based infrastructures. As the cloud becomes more popular, users are increasingly demanding control over critical security elements of the data and technology assets that are in the cloud. In addition, there are still cries for greater data and security in the cloud. The goal of this paper is to provide cloud service users with greater control over data security in the cloud while at the same time optimizing overall security in the multi-tenant cloud computing environment. This paper introduces cloud-based intelligent agents that are configurable by the users and are expected to give greater compliance for data security in any of the cloud service models.

Cloud computing is an evolving computing technology that provides many services such as software and storage. With the introduction of cloud storage, the security of outsourced data has become a major issue in cloud computing. Data storage in cloud computing environment needs to be secured in order to provide a safe and foolproof security for data outsourcing of the cloud service users. This paper presents a model for security of data in public cloud storage environment which successfully detects the unauthenticated access or any anomaly in the data. The proposed authentication model along with the data security model presented in this paper shows that this model is the best model suitable for securing the data in cloud computing environment

Cloud Computing Environment

Cloud computing is a trending area of information technology (IT). In a cloud environment, the Cloud service provider (CSP) provides all the functionalities to the users or customers in terms of services. With the rapid development of cloud computing, the performance of any cloud environment relies on the quality of services (QoS) at the time of providing the services. A service level agreement (SLA) increases the confidence of the user or customer to use the cloud services in a cloud environment. There should be negotiation between the CSP and users to achieve a strong SLA. Many existing SLA models are already developed. However, these models do not concentrate to maintain the quality in a long-time duration period. To solve this issue, a novel SLA model has been proposed in this article by using Fuzzy logic. Both the theoretical and simulation results show the proficiency of the proposed scheme over the existing schemes in a cloud computing environment.

Cloud computing is comprised of major demand from the every group of organization because of easy availability and cost effectiveness. The responsibilities of cloud service providers will become increasing more due to the great progression in every cloud computing deployment model (public, private and hybrid) and service models (SaaS, PaaS and IaaS). In this perspective, cloud computing faces multiple challenges, especially in cloud computing security at all levels (e.g., host, network, application and data levels). Authentication is the constantly the biggest concerned for IT industries to adopt cloud computing environment. The availability, performance, key logger attack, malicious insiders, outsider attacks and service disruptions explore (service hijacking) issues are the key research challenges in the cloud computing authentication level. In this aspect, traditional user name and password is not enough as a single factor (first factor). This paper has proposed a secure cloud computing framework which uses first factor as a crypt user name and password with the ATM pin as a second factor called M-pin. The proposed work focuses on a solution to the threats that are the major issues in the cloud adoption.
