Challenges and security issues in cloud computing from two

perspectives: Data security and privacy protection

Cloud computing is one of the most popular techniques in distributed computing which will increase
scalability and flexibility in computer processing due to its ability to minimize the cost of time
calculations. Cloud computing provides resources and shared services through the internet. Services
will be delivered through the data center. Cloud computing provides an interesting business proposal
for information technology industry, which without any additional investment, customers are able to
do heavy processing by devices such as a mobile phone that has the resources including the web
browser to run. On the other hand, cloud computing has been subject to many security issues. When
a client delivers his data to a cloud provider for saving, there is the possibility of data loss. From the
perspective of customers, cloud computing security concerns are still in place, in particular issues
related to data security and privacy protection. In this paper, the challenges and security issues in
cloud computing are investigated from two perspectives being data security and privacy protection.
