Summary:
Article 1: Security Issues and Solutions in Cloud
Computing (2012), a Cloud computing, as one of the
sultriest words in IT world, has drawn great attention.
Theres carious IT companies develop cloud computing
systems and cognate products to customers. However,
there are still some difficulties for customers to adopt
cloud computing, in which many security issues subsist,
because data for a customer is stored and processed in
cloud, not in a local machine. This paper briefly
introduces cloud computing and its key concepts. In
categorically, we intend to discuss security requisites
and security issues involving data, application and
virtualization in cloud computing, as well as current
solutions to these issues.
Article 2: Cloud computing and security issues in
the cloud (2014), the global computing infrastructure is
rapidly moving towards cloud based architecture.
Recent developments in the field of could computing
have immensely changed the way of computing as well
as the concept of computing resources. In a cloud based
computing infrastructure, the resources are normally in
someone else's premise or network and accessed
remotely by the cloud users (Petre, 2012; Ogigau-
Neamtiu, 2012; Singh & jangwal, 2012). The term cloud
computing is rather a concept which is a generalized
meaning evolved from distributed and grid computing.
Cloud computing is described as the offspring of
distributed and grid computing by some authors (Che,
Duan, Zhang & Fan, 2011). While it is important to take
advantages of deploying it to expand the sectors, the
security aspects in a cloud computing environment
remains at the core of interest. Cloud services and service
providers are being evolved which has resulted in a new
business trend based on cloud technology.

Article 3: Secure cloud storage (2011), platforms
provide easy access to a to a companys high-
performance computing and storage infrastructure
through web accommodations. We consider the
quandary of building a secure cloud storage
accommodation on top of a public cloud infrastructure
where the accommodation provider is not thoroughly
trusted by the customer. We describe, at a high caliber,
several architectures that accumulate recent and non-
standard cryptographic primitives in order to achieve our
goal. We survey the benefits such an architecture would
provide to both customers and accommodation providers
and give an overview of recent advances in cryptography
incentivized concretely by cloud storage.
Journal Synthesis:
Based from the research this three articles Ive been
study that the cloud computing is an developing
computing model which emanates from grid
computing, distributed computing, parallel computing,
virtualization technology, utility computing and other
computer technologies and it has more advantage
characters such as sizably voluminous scale
computation and data storage, virtualization, high
expansibility, high reliability and low price
accommodation. The security quandary of cloud
computing is very consequential and it can obviate the
rapid development of cloud computing. This paper
introduces some cloud computing systems and analyzes
cloud computing security quandary and its strategy
according to the cloud computing concepts and
characters. The data privacy and accommodation
availability in cloud computing are the key security
quandary. Single security method cannot solve the
cloud computing security quandary and many
traditional and incipient technologies and strategies
must be used together for forfending the total cloud
computing system.

Encryption works. Whether the company wants to

files should be locked down in case the company host
access, encrypting them is the only way to make sure
there is the only one with access to them. Another
problem that may arise from using a cloud storage
backup is security. You are essentially passing on
responsibility for the protection of the data to other
people and if these providers are not that careful about
the data that is being stored, it may find the backed up
data compromised. One solution to such an issue is to get
the source to make sure that the data is definitely secure
from security breaches.

The solution to this issue is a simple talk with the

provider and an assurance that should they anticipate
securing the business, that they inform the company
ahead of time and give an option for relocating the
company's backed up data to other sources. Another
option is to ask them to inform the company for closure
so it can get the company stored information and can find
other alternatives to their storage offerings.
