An innovative model for both cloud security and privacy in provision of secure cloud services

Abstract

Because of diverse benefits such as counting services on demand, decreasing costs, computing resources configuration, flexibility, services scalability, etc. over internet, Cloud Computing has become and is becoming widely and hugely accepted technology to provide services. On the other hand, privacy and security of a cloud has become an issue as this technology is tremendously emerging in the world. Many researches are being done and even some proposed various models to identify and overcome the privacy and security issues. In this review, for the cloud providers to use during different stages of cloud services, a layered cloud security and privacy model (CSPM) will be provided. The CSPM model allows to overcome cloud security issues and thus, providing safe and protected services. Lastly, countermeasures and security threats will be presented.
