A Compendium over Cloud Computing Cryptographic Algorithms and Security Issues

Submitted in March, 2014; Accepted in November, 2014 Abstract - Cloud computing is an emerging and revolutionary approach towards the computing and becoming more risk prone than ever before. It is an evolutionary approach of using resources and services on demand and as per need of consumers. Cloud computing providing a platform rose on the Internet for usage of IT services and flexible infrastructure to the consumers and business. Deployment and management of services or resources are maintained by the third party. Whereas there are innumerable advantages to approaching the cloud computing, it also contains various issues such as confidentiality, Integrity, Authenticity and Privacy. One of the prominent barrier to adopt the cloud computing is security. This paper comprises the elaborated study on various security issues allied to cloud computing are presented by consolidating literature reviews on cryptographic algorithms used for data security.
