Subhash Basishtha, Saptarshi Boruah

Abstract: Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm in the field of it that provides hosted services to a large number of user on demand basis over the internet. They are internet based network that has large numbers of servers. It allows to use the services only when you want and pay only for the amount what you have used. Since cloud computing share distributed resources over an open environment, so security becomes a major concern here. To improve the work performance different services are distributed on different servers but the security and safety aspects are remaining insufficient. Security is the one of major issues that hampers the growth of cloud. So, in this paper we first try to give an idea about cloud computing and then concentrate on the major security aspects of cloud computing paradigm.
