Security Mapping of a Usage Based Cloud System

Abstract

The popularity of cloud computing technology is increasing tremendously. There is no disagreement about the effectiveness of the data storage and the data transition techniques of clouds. Earlier it used distributed computing just for sharing resources. However, with technology advancement, cloud computing has become more and more powerful as well as more adaptive in various business sectors. However, with the increase in number of users, there is also an increase in the security threats affecting the users' privacy, personal data, identity and confidentiality. In this paper, we have aimed at categorizing security and privacy threats based on the kind of usage of cloud. We have also presented an algorithm to find the appropriate solution to address the security and privacy related issues as per the usage category. The case study method is adopted to analyze the pertinence of the algorithm through relevant real time cases. This paper helps in improving security and privacy of cloud technology users without compromising the benefits of data storage.

CROSA: Context‐aware cloud service ranking approach using online reviews based on sentiment analysis

“…These comparisons are realized using a set of standard benchmark tools, whose results display the objective assessment of a particular cloud. To evaluate the security and the privacy, Kamatchi et al 13 proposed a categorization of the security and privacy threats based on the usage of the CS. In addition, they presented an algorithm to find the appropriate solution as per the usage category.…”
