A Quick Survey on Cloud Computing and Associated Security, Mobility and IoT Issues

Abstract

This survey paper provides a general overview on Cloud Computing. The topics that are discussed include characteristics, deployment and service models as well drawbacks. Major aspects of Cloud Computing are explained to give the reader a clearer understanding on the complexity of the platform. Following this, several security issues and countermeasures are also discussed to show the major issues and obstacles that Cloud Computing faces as it is being implemented further. The major part of countermeasures focuses on Intrusion Detection Systems. Moving towards Mobile Cloud Computing and Internet of Things, this survey paper gives a general explanation on the applications and potential that comes with the integration of Cloud Computing with any device that has Internet connectivity as well as the challenges that are before it.
