Abstract :
Cloud Computing is rapidly changing the whole scenario of distributed system and it has given a fresh meaning to distributed system. Although Cloud Computing is delivering essential services and benefits such as low price services, on demand self-service, broad network access, large scale computation and highly availability of resources, but there are still some drawback behind services due to security issues and concerns. Cloud security Issues and challenges of Cloud Computing are identified in this paper through comparative study of three standard working organizations NIST(National Institute of Standards and Technology), CSA (Cloud Security Alliance) and ENISA (European Network and Information Security Agency).We briefly described all security issues and challenges of cloud computing identified by these working organization. After comparative study we observed a comparative based table which presents comparison of security issues and challenges of cloud computing.At the end of study we observed that all security issues are covered by all working organizations in term of security domain which are- ‘strategic and policy issues’ and ‘technical issues’ and ‘legal issues’.
