LITERATURE SURVEY
[1] J. Chavan, R. Patil, S. Patil, V. Gutte and S. Karande, "A Survey on Security Threats in
Cloud Computing Service Models," The advent of cloud computing has enabled many users
and organizations to make better use of system and business resources. Cloud computing's
primary benefits are its cheaper service costs and the absence of the requirement for users to
invest in expensive computing hardware. Because of the accessibility of its resources and
flexibility for user computing operations, individuals and organizations migrate their
programs, data, and resources to cloud storage services. A transition from localized to remote
computing has brought with it a plethora of security risks and challenges for both users and
service providers. However, there is one significant disadvantage to cloud computing: the
storage of your data is in the hands of a third party. Amongst the most daunting concerns in
providing powerful storage and processing as on-demand Services is the security threat posed
by resource sharing in Cloud computing. Increasing efficiency and better performance are
driving governments and organizations around the world to use cloud computing, either from
scratch or as part of existing infrastructure. Risk and challenges associated with cloud
computing, as well as the measures that can be taken to help shield the cloud from security
threats, are discussed in this paper.

[2] R. Mishra, M. Gupta and V. Rajpoot, "Identifing the Future Security Issues Methods for
Secure Data in the Cloud Computing," In the fast-growing world, Cloud Computing is an
important tool to store sensitive data in the cloud database in a secure manner. Cloud
Computing provides the largest resource allocation to cloud clients like a computer,
memories, operating system and application through the internet that passes across the world.
The major problem in every year IT sectors facing security issues and challenges for securing
the sensitive data in the cloud database. Though there are handling many techniques on
developing security in the cloud and this has made a very confusing state for the cloud users.
To overcome this problem, thispaper to identify the issues and challenges in the cloud using
the new method EIR. This paper also provides suggestions for future cloud challenges and
cloud users use these suggestions to aware of Cloud computing in the future also.

[3] Deepika, R. Kumar and Dalip, "Security Enabled Framework to Access Information in
Cloud Environment," This paper proposed a Security Enabled Framework to Access the

Cloud Computering and Security Issues

Information in Cloud Environment (SEFAI) which is designed by using the various secure
encrypted algorithms to provide information security while accessing information from the
cloud. There are several security issues that have emerged while service delivery models are
used in the cloud system. With the advancements in cloud computing day by day different
cloud based services are used by cloud users like AWS (Amazon Web Services), Microsoft
Azure, Google etc. The security issues are very important during the time of accessing
information from cloud. To resolve the security issue a novel framework is designed by using
cryptography algorithms. The designed framework takes less encryption and decryption time
in comparison of existing framework that was “Security Algorithms for Cloud Computing
(SACC)” [1]. The proposed framework in this paper provides more security to the data in
cloud environment and prevent the unauthorized users to access the information.

[4] S. Kumari, K. Solanki, S. Dalal and A. Dhankhar, "Analysis Of Cloud Computing

Security Threats and Countermeasures," The demand for Cloud Computing (CC) is
increasing at a higher growth rate because of the emerging technologies like machine
learning, artificial intelligence, big data analytics, IoT, mobile supercomputing, serverless
computing, and the industrial need for reducing operational costs. Cloud computing features
such as customized offerings, pay-as-you-go or pay-per-use model, availability, seamless
scalability, and flexibility have accelerated the demand for cloud services. Despite these
many benefits, security is the top challenge in the adoption of cloud services. However, the
recent research studies lack the gap between analyzing potential security threats and an
exhaustive list of countermeasures proposed for mitigating the threats. The main objective of
this paper is to provide a comprehensive view of cloud security threats and to identify
potential (more vulnerable) threats. Further, the taxonomy of proposed solutions is provided
for data security and privacy on the basis of analysis of research papers in the last decade.

"Circumstantial Discussion on Security and Privacy Protection using Cloud Computing
Technology," Cloud computing is becoming a demanding technology due to its flexibility,
sensibility and remote accessibility. Apart from these applications of cloud computing,
privacy and security are two terms that pose a circumstantial discussion. Various authors
have argued on this topic that cloud computing is more secure than other data sharing and
storing methods. The conventional data storing system is a computer system or smartphone
storage. The argument debate also states that cloud computing is vulnerable to enormous
types of attacks which make it a more concerning technology. This current study has also

Dept. of ECE, SSIT, Tumakuru 2023-24 Page 4

Cloud Computering and Security Issues

tried to draw the circumstantial and controversial debate on the security and privacy system
of cloud computing. Primary research has been conducted with 65 cloud computing experts
to understand whether a cloud computing security technique is highly secure or not. An
online survey has been conducted with them where they provided their opinions based on the
security and privacy system of cloud computing. Findings showed that no particular
technology is available which can provide maximum security. Although the respondents
agreed that blockchain is a more secure cloud computing technology; however, the
blockchain also has certain threats which need to be addressed. The study has found essential
encryption systems that can be integrated to strengthen security; however, continuous
improvement is required.

[6] P. K. Goel and A. Singhal, "Security Issues and Threats in Cloud Computing: Problems
and Solutions," Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative technology,
revolutionizing how organizations handle data, applications, and services. However, along
with its benefits, cloud computing presents unique security challenges. This research paper
explores the various security issues, threats, and potential solutions in cloud computing
environments. By examining current trends, industry best practices, and emerging
technologies, this paper provides a comprehensive framework for organizations to establish
and maintain robust security measures in the cloud.

[7] Z. Balani and H. Varol, "Cloud Computing Security Challenges and Threats," In today’s
sophisticated life, technology covers all aspects of our daily life, and that creates an
environment for the attackers to access and attack a targeted organisation easily with the
lowest cost. However, it is difficult for the organisation to detect it easily. Cloud computing,
users can store data across the network in an online environment. Moreover, the data can be
accessed everywhere across the world. Most people, especially users who do not know
enough about the increasing number of attacks and the development of technology, are
concerned about keeping their data in clouds because security is a critical issue. In the study
of this paper, some methods and techniques are provided to protect data in an online
environment. These methods and techniques have the lowest costs and can be employed by
every user as an easy way to defend themselves against attackers.

[8] D. Sitaram et al., "Orchestration Based Hybrid or Multi Clouds and Interoperability
Standardization," In the present scenario, hybrid or multi-cloud environments are most
suitable for Enterprises and Communities (like Government of India) for cloud bursting,

disaster recovery, migration, and there is growing need for unified monitoring and
management, however, it's challenging to setup a viable hybrid/multi-cloud environment.
Currently, there are multiple solutions available in the market with limited success due to
hidden drawbacks, for instance, vendor-lock-in, portability issues in migration, security
threats and expensive in the long run and also, unfortunately, interoperability standardization
is still work in progress. In this paper, we explore few hybrid/multi cloud use cases and
demonstrate how these can be accomplished with our Federated Cloud Services Framework
(middleware), which is built upon OpenStack [5], an open source cloud and by leveraging
existing OpenStack functionalities.

[9] A. Tubaishat, "Security in Cloud Computing: State-of-the-Art, Key Features, Challenges,

and Opportunities” .Cloud computing is used for storing, processing, and exchanging
information within a community or organization on demand. It presents an excellent business
model for organizations in order to exploit better IT services with a lower cost, and less
investment. However, a range of security issues predetermines such approach to use. This
study incorporates an exploratory method of research by collecting state of the art literature
on security and privacy of cloud computing with showing the possible solutions presented in
multiple research studies. We then discussed cloud computing architecture, cloud computing
security, and highlighted the major challenges of cloud computing security. This is necessary
to understand the details of the chosen solution to the widespread security issues associated
with cloud computing. Another major contribution of this research is the development of a
framework that can be used by enterprises to evaluate the level of threats and damages in
their virtual environment. The framework is supported by previous theories that were
reviewed in this study.

[10] F. Ghaffari, H. Gharaee and A. Arabsorkhi, "Cloud Security Issues Based on People,
Process and Technology Model: A Survey," Combination of utility computing and World
Wide Web is base of the cloud computing. The intrinsic features of cloud computing have
produced many competitive and computing benefits. The development of cloud computing
and the expansion of service providers in this area has led to increase in investment in cloud
computing. Large number of users on the one hand and increasing the number of sensitive
data on cloud environments on the other hand, caused a dramatic growth in the motivation of
malicious activities and as a result of security challenges. Solving the cloud computing
security challenges need to proper knowledge of the security issues and the scope of their
resolution. Security is a long-term product of interaction between people, process and

technology. This categorization is based on possible solutions to security issues. Thus, the
division of threats in these three areas can help the managers and security sectors to solve the
security problems. Hence, in this paper, along with the comprehensive identification of cyber
security challenges, we try to address these threats to categories of people, process, and
technologies, in order to find cost effective, efficient and feasible security solutions based on
this basis.

3.1 METHODOLOGY
Today computers are used by the government sectors, industries, military, railway everyone.
A group of computers works as a single computer to provide and data and other applications
to user on the internet. A network which is already available in the Cloud of computer that
works as the IP address in the server that connects the several systems. These provide a vast
storage capability and large scale group of collaboration. In order to solving the problems
like analyzing risk in medical facilities and financial sectors, even in computer games the
users may trap through web. The large networking group of servers uses only low-cost
customer PC technology. It includes specialized data connections that processed chores of
them. Our main responsibility having making sure that all our employee have correct and
right software and hardware for their jobs. Everyone can buy the computer but it is not
enough Whenever you are having a new opportunity you have to buy software which is
having different versions or make sure your current software license allows to other user.
Web-based service which entertains all the programs that the user need for his job. It could
be called cloud computing and it can change the entire computer industry. Local computers
have to do very heavy jobs when it comes to running applications .Instead of that the network
can handles them both hardware and software users , which can as simple as web browser
and the server will take care of it by running all the programs. The software and storage does
not exist on your computer for security reasons. It’s on the services cloud computing.

3.2:

ARCHITECTURE OF CLOUD

Individual users connect the computer from the cloud server. From the user cloud is seen as a
single application. The hardware is the cloud server and the operations done by the cloud
server is invisible. The user collects the information from the interface and it is connected to
service management and the services provided for the management is server and internally
the server is connected to web application. It is the part of front—end application and it gives
the correct source of information. The services could retrieve the necessary information from
the cloud and web application so that it either creates or opens the application. After the
application is launched the system checks the functions of the cloud so that the resources are
partitioned to the particular user.

The architecture of cloud computing encompasses a complex network of interconnected

components and layers that collectively enable the delivery of on-demand computing
resources over the internet. This architecture is designed to provide scalable, flexible, and
cost-effective solutions for storing, processing, and accessing data and applications. While
specific implementations may vary across cloud service providers and deployment models,
the fundamental architecture typically consists of the following key components:

1. Client Devices: At the edge of the architecture are the client devices, such as desktop
computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, which users utilize to access cloud services and
resources through web browsers or specialized applications.

2. Frontend Services: The frontend services layer comprises various interfaces and
applications that facilitate user interaction with the cloud environment. This includes web
portals, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), and command-line interfaces (CLIs)
through which users can provision, manage, and monitor cloud resources.

3. Backend Infrastructure: The backend infrastructure forms the backbone of the cloud
environment, consisting of a distributed network of servers, storage devices, and networking
equipment housed in data centers. These resources are responsible for hosting and processing
user data and applications.

4. Virtualization Layer: Virtualization technology plays a crucial role in cloud computing by

abstracting physical hardware resources and creating virtualized instances that can be

Cloud Computering and Security Issues

dynamically allocated to users as needed. This enables resource pooling, isolation, and
efficient utilization of hardware resources across multiple users or tenants.

5. Orchestration and Management Layer: The orchestration and management layer

encompasses software systems and tools that automate the provisioning, configuration,
scaling, and monitoring of cloud resources. This includes tools for workload management,
resource scheduling, and performance optimization, as well as platforms for deploying and
managing containers and serverless functions.

6. Networking Infrastructure: Networking infrastructure is essential for facilitating

communication and data transfer between cloud components and client devices. This includes
switches, routers, load balancers, and other networking devices that ensure reliable
connectivity, low latency, and high bandwidth within the cloud environment.

7. Storage Services: Cloud storage services provide scalable and durable storage solutions for
storing various types of data, including files, databases, and multimedia content. These
services typically offer features such as redundancy, encryption, and data lifecycle
management to ensure data integrity and availability.

8. Compute Services: Compute services encompass virtualized computing resources, such as

virtual machines (VMs), containers, and serverless computing platforms, that enable users to
run applications and perform computational tasks in the cloud. These services offer flexibility
in terms of processing power, memory, and runtime environments, allowing users to tailor
their computing resources to meet specific workload requirements.

9. Security and Compliance: Security and compliance mechanisms are integrated throughout
the cloud architecture to protect data, applications, and infrastructure from cyber threats,
unauthorized access, and data breaches. This includes identity and access management
(IAM), encryption, network security controls, and compliance frameworks that govern data
protection and privacy.

ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS

Even though there are many advantages when you are using this technology, doesn’t
make it the best thing for everyone. When is the best solution for your company or
organization? In order to answer this question, we have to examine the advantages and
disadvantages of cloud computing.
 Lower-cost computers for users: This point is one of the financial advantages of cloud
computing. There is no need to purchase powerful and expensive equipment to use
cloud computing since all the processing is not at your local computer but in the
cloud. Since the application runs in the cloud, not on the desktop PC, that desktop PC
does not need the processing power or hard disk space demanded by traditional
desktop software.
 Better performance: Due to the fact that no programs or files are loaded on the local
PC, users will not experience delays when switching on/off their computers and also
the internal network will be much faster since no internal traffic will occur.
 Less IT infrastructure costs: The IT department of large organizations could
experience decreasing on the expenses in regards with infrastructure with the adoption
of the cloud computing technology. Instead of investing in larger numbers of more
powerful servers, the IT staff can use the computing power of the cloud to supplement
or replace internal computing resources.
 Less maintenance costs: Maintenance costs also will be reduced using cloud
computing since both hardware and software maintenance for organizations of all
sizes will be much less. For example, fewer servers are necessary in the organization
which means that maintenance costs are immediately lowered. As to software
maintenance, there is no software on the organization’s computers for the IT staff to
maintain.
 Lower software costs: Using cloud computing there is no need to purchase software
packages for each computer in the organization, only those employees actually using
an application need access to that application in the cloud.
 Automatic software updates: All the software’s need update and the great thing with
cloud computing is that you do not have to worry for any updates and also your
organization will not have any additional expenses when a new upgrade or update is
necessary.
 Increased computing power: When using cloud computing, you can use the cloud
computing power since you are no longer limited to what a single desktop computer
can do.
 Unlimited storage capacity: The cloud offers virtually limitless storage capacity but at
any time you can expand your storage capacity with a small additional charge on your
monthly fee.
 Increased data safety: There is no point to worry for disk failures or a disaster at your
office. All the data is stored in the cloud.

Dept. of ECE, SSIT, Tumakuru 2023-24 Page 12

Cloud Computering and Security Issues

 Anywhere access to your documents: When you are in the cloud, there is no need to
take your documents with you. Instead, you can access your actual PC from anywhere
that there is Internet access available.
 Latest version availability: One more thing in relation with documents is that when
you edit one document at the office and then you go somewhere else and open it, the
latest version will be displayed since as I already aforementioned all the work is done
centrally in the cloud.
 Use your computer from anywhere: This is one of the biggest advantages of cloud
computing. Basically, when you use this technology, you are not limited to work on a
single PC. You just use your “cloud PC” from anywhere and any PC and your
existing applications and documents follow you through the cloud. Move to a portable
device, and your applications and documents are still available.
LIMITATIONS
 Internet connection is required: It is impossible to work if your Internet connection is
down. Since you are using Internet to connect to your “cloud PC”, if there is no
Internet connection simply you cannot connect.
 Low-speed connections are not recommended: This is not a very important
disadvantage since everybody today has at least 1 Mbps connection at work and at
home. However, it is important to mention that cloud computing cannot work with
slow Internet connections such as dial-up since web-based applications often require
a lot of bandwidth to download, as do large documents.
 Sometimes is slow: Also, with fast connections, sometimes you might experience
delays since web-based applications can sometimes be slower than accessing a
similar software program on your desktop PC. The reasons for that are because of the
demanding upload and download bandwidth that web applications need.
 Stored data might not be secure: Data is stored “in the cloud”. However, where
exactly is the cloud and is it really secure? These are questions arising for users that
have confidential data.
 Your data is 100% in the cloud: All the data that you had until now on your local PC,
it is stored in the cloud. Theoretically, data stored in the cloud is safe since a cloud
hosting company uses several ways of backup in order ensure that on any case the
data will not be lost. However, if your data is missing (even one in a million), you
have no physical or local backup of your data.

Chapter 5:

APPLICATIONS
Cloud is analogical to internet. Cloud computing is internet based computing where
virtual shared servers provided software, infrastructure, platform, devices and other
resources and hosting to customers on a pay-as- you-use basis. Cloud computing
customers do not own the physical infrastructure rather they rent the usage from a third
party provider. They use resources as a service for performing a task and pay only for
what they are utilizing. IT organization vendors provide services to the customers which
are in turn utilized by customers on pay-per –use basis. Customers can access these
services provided by vendors using web-browser. Huge amount of data is stored in many
cloud servers and the collection of servers forms a Data center. The services provided by
vendors can be classified in three models that actually depict how services are being
provided to the customers. Service models are service oriented architecture that tells us
about the different level of abstraction. They are as follows:-

 Platform as a Service (PaaS) : Paas supplies all the resources required to build
applications and services completely by using internet without having to download or
install software. PaaS services include application design, development and hosting.
Other services include collaboration, web service integration, DB integration,
security, scaling etc. Users don’t have to worry about purchasing hardware and
software or hire experts for management of the software and hardware, it provides
flexibility in installing software on system, scalability is a another advantage of the
PaaS. A downfall of the PaaS is the lack of interoperability and portability among
providers.
 Software as a Service (SaaS) Software as a service is the model in which an
application is hosted as a service to customers who access it via the internet. It
provides us the facility of using different software application, operating system and
resources without the need of installing them on your own machine, upgrading and
buying licensees.
 Infrastructure as Service (IaaS) This model is responsible for providing virtualized
computing resources, network resources with IaaS users assemble their own virtual
cluster on which they are responsible for installing, maintaining and executing their
own virtual cluster on which they are responsible for installing, maintaining and
executing their own software stack. IaaS uses different tools for virtualizing and
converting physical resources to logical resources that can be provisioned and
published to customers as needed.

5.1
Classification of Cloud Computing Deployment Models
We can classify the cloud computing system in 4 categories, they are as follows:

 Public Cloud: In this deployment model services and infrastructures are made
available to different types of customers and used publicly by general people/users.
This type of cloud is managed by cloud services provider offering services to the
consumers on pay-per- use Cloud Computing Services and its Application 109 basis.
Consumers are considered authorized by default, so security and privacy are big
issues in it. Examples of public cloud are Amazon EC2, Google App Engine etc.
 Private Cloud: In this type of cloud the computing resources are used and operated
exclusively by one organization owing that cloud. It is more secured than public
clouds because their users are trusted users inside the organization. Examples of
private cloud are IBM cloud, Microsoft cloud, any private institutional cloud etc.
 Community Cloud: In community model the infrastructure is shared by several
organizations with the same policy and compliance considerations. This helps to
further reduce cost as compared to a private cloud, as it is shared by large groups.
Various state level government departments requiring access to the same data relating
to roads, hospitals, electrical stations infrastructures use community model for
gathering information.
 Hybrid Cloud: This deployment model helps business to take advantage of secured
applications and data hosting on private cloud, while still enjoying cost benefits. An
organization may store sensitive client data in house on a private cloud application,
but inter-connect that application to a billing application provided on a public cloud
as a software service.
