Confirmation of Candidature - Cloud Computing Security and Privacy

On the edge of twenty first century, each day brings new technology to our life. Technology has made the transition faster, especially the transition from reality to virtual reality. Cloud computing is one of the new emerging technologies that has been structured based on advance IT infrastructure and internet service to provide services like data storage, virtual machines, application support, bare infrastructure support, advance database services and analytics. At the primary phase of the research project, the whole research proposal is the small representation of future research methodology on cloud computing. The purpose of the research is to find out the security and privacy issues in cloud computing and the possible remediation process. On this paper all details of the proposed methodology have been provided step-by-step. The paper also described the theoretical framework and literature review of the proposed research project based on cloud computing security & privacy. On my research proposal, I would like to discuss about overall security & privacy breach reasons and how users are effected, the possible way we can eliminate those breaches, how to raise awareness for practicing safe data access from cloud. For cloud data centre, the paper will discuss some possible ways to remove vulnerabilities in cloud computing, like middleware solution, credential management, high level data encryption method, applying cryptography, trusted platform module (TPM) method, data centric security (DCS), security controls on the physical structures.
