The technical security issues in cloud computing

Abstract

With the development of multi-core processors, virtualisation, distributed storage, broadband internet and automatic management, a new type of computing mode named cloud computing is produced. The cloud computing has drastically altered everyone's perception of infrastructure architectures, software delivery and development models. Cloud computing adoption and diffusion are threatened by unresolved security issues that affect both the cloud provider and the cloud user. A secure data storage architecture based on cloud computing is presented in this paper to deal with the data security in the cloud storage systems and applications. This architecture research, the security issues from data storage and data security including the data storage model based on caching and data security model based on the third party secure publication. This method improves the high availability of data. Protection measures from the data storage to transmission are taken to ensure safety. © 2013 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
