Abstract :
Cloud computing (CC) is set of resources and services offered through the Internet. Cloud services are delivered from data centers located throughout the world. Cloud computing facilitates its consumers by providing virtual resources via internet. CC is becoming one of the most important areas in the Information Technology world. Several issues and challenges are being raised from the adoption of this computational paradigm including security, privacy and authentication and association. In this paper aims to introduce new security ideas in cloud computing. In this paper, we describe the specifics of cloud computing, we address the principal security issues for cloud computing and we discuss primary cloud operations that need to be secured and we discuss the data security based model for cloud computing. We identify the new challenges and opportunities posed by this new cloud computing environment and explore approaches to secure its communication.
