Abstract

Cloud computing is an Internet-based computing model, having various resources used by distinct users in a concurrent manner. Apart from all of its advantages, it faces a major setback due to various data security issues. To overcome these issues, various security mechanisms have been proposed, such as cryptography and authentication. Cryptography can be used to provide data integrity, authorization for data manipulation, and also making the data unreadable to an interceptor through encryption. There are various classifications of models in cloud computing. The service models are classified as Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). There are several deployment models mainly distinguished by ownership which consists of public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud. This survey mainly focuses on security issues in cloud service models and cloud deployment models along with various cryptographic mechanisms of data protection, such as symmetric key cryptography, asymmetric key cryptography, and their encryption algorithms.
