Secured cloud data storage—prototype trust model for public cloud storage

Abstract

Cloud computing is a business word in information technology world. Cloud-based applications and its related businesses are rapidly growing in the day-to-day world. The small and medium enterprises’ concerns are rapidly adopting cloud-based business service models because they are concerned only about the operational cost (OP-EX) and the capital expenditure (CAP-EX) is not essential. The cloud computing has undergone many issues like scalability, reliability, compliance cross-border data storage, multi-tenant, data security, downstream, and regulatory issues. The major issue under high controversy is data storage in cloud. Data confidentiality, data integrity, data authentication, regulation, and legal jurisdictions are the major pests that infect user’s business. Taking all these in mind, this paper discusses and proposes a model for data security in cloud storage and its safety measures.
