Cloud computing is a rising technology that has gained significant attention over past decades. It offers various features such as-on-demand access, broad-network access, unlimited resource pool, etc. Despite so many merits, cloud computing has been full several challenges. Security indeed has remained one of the biggest challenges. Researchers, all over world, have been working on designing different types of security mechanism which can work on different levels on cloud environment. However, the literature on cloud security is quite wide and touches several issues pertaining to different stakeholders. The current study addresses the above issue by presenting a detailed review of challenges of security that are faced by different stake holders, such as cloud service provider (CSP), cloud user (CU), etc. This study will help the various researchers to find all security concerns at one place with critical reviews.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
