A Survey on Security Challenges in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is an innovative paradigm that offers computing resources such as network, storage, servers, applications and services when there is a demand, based on pay-as-you go principle. In Cloud computing, the resources are shared by Cloud consumers. Cloud provides computing infrastructure with a development platform on which users can develop their own applications. It diminishes the capital expenditures to be spent on applications development. The cloud consumers can avail the resources from anywhere at any time with an internet service. Though Cloud has several advantages, it has certain security challenges to be resolved. In this paper, the Security Challenges of Cloud Computing in various aspects are discussed.
