The Rise of Cloud Computing: Data Protection, Privacy, and Open Research Challenges—A Systematic Literature Review (SLR)

Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience

Cloud computing is a long-standing dream of computing as a utility, where users can store their data remotely in the cloud to enjoy on-demand services and high-quality applications from a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Thus, the privacy and security of data are of utmost importance to all of its users regardless of the nature of the data being stored. In cloud computing environments, it is especially critical because data is stored in various locations, even around the world, and users do not have any physical access to their sensitive data. Therefore, we need certain data protection techniques to protect the sensitive data that is outsourced over the cloud. In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) to illustrate all the data protection techniques that protect sensitive data outsourced over cloud storage. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to synthesize, classify, and identify important studies in the field of study. Accordingly,...

Cloud security is a branch of cyber security that focuses on securing cloud computing systems. It is a method for enterprises to use the internet to access storage and virtual services while saving money on infrastructure, considered as the next-generation architecture since it combines application software and databases into big data centers. However, difficulties with confidentiality, protection, integrity, and compliance may surface when the information is not kept, examined, or computed locally. A wide range of data security-related topics are covered by cloud-based data security. For securing an organization’s data across the network, data encryption is a common and effective security strategy that is a great alternative. The most vulnerable data is financial and payment systems, and medical data, which can expose customers or clients critical information. Several academics have also offered a range of approaches to safeguards to maintain data privacy and security while it is being transmitted, but there are still a lot of obstacles to the safety of data that is being stored in the cloud. In this paper, several research papers that have been authored and published in this topic are thoroughly examined and analysed. This study gives a review of the literature on different methods for establishing data security in cloud environment.

Cloud computing is revolutionizing many ecosystems by providing organizations with computing resources featuring easy deployment, connectivity, configuration, automation and scalability. This paradigm shift raises a broad range of security and privacy issues that must be taken into consideration. Multi-tenancy, loss of control, and trust are key challenges in cloud computing environments. This paper reviews the existing technologies and a wide array of both earlier and state-of-the-art projects on cloud security and privacy. We categorize the existing research according to the cloud reference architecture orchestration, resource control, physical resource, and cloud service management layers, in addition to reviewing the existing developments in privacy-preserving sensitive data approaches in cloud computing such as privacy threat modeling and privacy enhancing protocols and solutions.

Data security has consistently been a major issue in information technology. In the cloud computing environment, it becomes particularly serious because the data is located in different places even in all the globe. Data security and privacy protection are the two main factors of user's concerns about the cloud technology. Though many techniques on the topics in cloud computing have been investigated in both academics and industries, data security and privacy protection are becoming more important for the future development of cloud computing technology in government, industry, and business. Data security and privacy protection issues are relevant to both hardware and software in the cloud architecture. This study is to review different security techniques and challenges from both software and hardware aspects for protecting data in the cloud and aims at enhancing the data security and privacy protection for the trustworthy cloud environment. In this paper, we make a comparative research analysis of the existing research work regarding the data security and privacy protection techniques used in the cloud computing.

The Surge in Cloud Computing use and its Data Privacy and Security Measures

Oluwafemi Adedeji , Olamide Alashi , Kido Ukwamefune

The next step in the growth of the internet is cloud computing, an Internet-based technology. Although security concerns have gained a lot of attention recently, they remain a substantial barrier to the expansion of cloud computing. It simply transfers user data and application software to massive, distantly located data centers, or "cloud," over which the user has no authority and where the administration of the data may not be totally safe. However, this one aspect of cloud computing alone poses several security issues that demand attention and thorough explanation. Therefore, a literature analysis was undertaken as part of this study to look into the problems that cloud computing has faced in the past and present as well as the many data security methods that are employed there. The study found that while several early data security concerns with cloud computing have been addressed, few of them have persisted into the present, and some recently emergent concerns have also been noted. Therefore, this study recommends putting the studied advice for cloud computing data security into practice.

People used to carry their documents about on CDs only a few years ago. Many people have recently turned to memory sticks. Cloud computing, in this case, refers to the capacity to access and edit data stored on remote servers from any Internet-connected platform. Cloud computing is a self-service Internet infrastructure that allows people to access computing resources at any location worldwide. The world has altered as a result of cloud computing. Cloud computing can be thought of as a new computing typology that can provide on-demand services at a low cost. By increasing the capacity and flexibility of data storage and providing scalable compute and processing power that fits the dynamic data requirements, cloud computing has aided the advancement of IT to higher heights. In the field of information technology, privacy and data security have long been a serious concern. It becomes more severe in the cloud computing environment because data is stored in multiple locations, often across the globe. Users' primary challenges regarding the cloud technology revolve around data security and privacy. We conduct a thorough assessment of the literature on data security and privacy issues, data encryption technologies, and related countermeasures in cloud storage systems in this study. Ubiquitous network connectivity, location-independent resource pooling, quick resource flexibility, usage-based pricing, and risk transference are all features of cloud computing.

Cloud makes data storage very smart. It provides enormous amount of space to store the user’s data. These data are instantly available for the users at any time and it reduces the cost with respect to hardware support, technical experts available and license of the database. It leverages the small and medium scale enterprise straight away to start their business. Nevertheless cloud has many advantages; enterprises are undecided to deploy their data in the cloud storage, because data security issue is the top concern in Cloud Storage (CS). Security issues arose from the attack of cloud data by the hackers. Hackers are either outsiders from the enterprises or insiders from cloud service providers. This paper considers the issue that the CS is attacked by insiders from the cloud service provider. To protect this attack, this paper proposes the data confidentiality framework called AROMO. As per the proposed framework, user’s data are protected in the Cloud Storage. The proposed framework has a mechanism which uses two techniques to protect the data that are encryption and obfuscation. The data are encrypted and obfuscated before it is uploaded to CS. A metadata is maintained in the client. It contains the details of encryption and obfuscation applied on the data. To retrieve data from the CS, query is generated to run on encrypted and obfuscated data on the server side. Based on the query from the client, required data is fetched out from the CS; it could be decrypted and deobfuscated in client side based on the metadata details.

Cloud computing is a popular approach that is used to store any kind of data or information over the internet rather than storing it on our desktops. But there is one major issue that arises when we wish to adopt this method which is the security of the data of the user. When data is stored in the cloud it is not completely under the control of the user. So we need to make use of methods that will make sure that the data of the user stored in the cloud cannot be accessed by the cloud service provider and that only valid or authorised users can access the data. These methods will ensure security of the data and will increase the rate of adoption of cloud computing services.

Cloud computing transforms the provision of information and communication technologies and is already affecting every aspect of economic and social activity. Moreover, it is considered as a disruptive technology that will contribute to the digital transformation of private and public organizations. Especially in the public sector cloud computing adoption can bring a number of benefits such as cost-savings, reduction of total cost of ownership, high availability of systems and services, provision of improved and enhanced capabilities, better services to citizens and more open, innovative and reliable authorities, both in central and in local government level. Therefore, public sector organizations should analyze cloud computing benefits and challenges and recognize factors that influence its adoption, in order to incorporate it into their strategy and initiatives for digital transformation. However, as found from the literature, scientific research concerning cloud computing adoption is rather limited, especially in public sector and more specifically in local government. The aim of this paper is to perform a literature review about cloud computing adoption in public sector. In this review, papers that study cloud computing adoption in public sector are identified, classified and analyzed, revealing theoretical-conceptual models that are applied and highlighting influencing factors that are examined through these models. The findings of our study indicate areas for future research and provide knowledge for managers and practitioners that will lead computing adoption in the public sector and more specifically in local government authorities.
