Analysis of Privacy Issues in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Recent evolutions in information technology have led to a more distributed computing environment, while also reviving the utility of centralized storage. The growth in high-speed data lines, the falling cost of storage, the advent of wireless high-speed networks, the proliferation of handheld devices that can access the web – together, these factors mean that users now can store data on a server that likely resides in a remote data center. Cloud computing premise is very similar in that it provides a virtual computing environment that’s dynamically allocated to meet user needs. But How much secure is cloud computing environment is a big challenge. This paper, focused on the security issues in cloud computing and its main objectives to describe cloud computing and all major security risks and issues related with it.
