ABSTRACT
In this paper, we discuss security issues with Cloud Based Computing and Cloud Operating Systems. Cloud computing has recently experienced a significant increase in popularity as major companies such as Google and Microsoft have started to release cloud based products, advertise the use of the cloud, and even release an open source Cloud OS. As the general public becomes more aware of cloud based computing and the popularity increases the demand for security will increase. This paper discusses both unique security concerns for cloud computing as well as shared security issues between cloud and traditional computing. Current solutions for these security risks are also discussed and evaluated. In addition, we propose a method for allowing the user to select specific security levels of security for items and make a list of security items that all users should be aware of before opting to use cloud based services.
