  Kruti Patel,  Vijaykumar Gadhavi,  Kaushal Jani

Cloud computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of your computer's hard drive. The cloud is just a metaphor for the Internet. The goal of cloud computing is to allow users to take benefit from all of these technologies, without the need for deep knowledge about or expertise with each one of them. It is an Internet based technology where quality services are provided to users including data and software, on remote servers. Advantages of cloud computing includes creating and storing data at remote servers, hence utilizing the client resource to the minimum level. But this advantage implicitly contains drawback of data security. In this paper, I representated the major security issues and challenges present in cloud computing today and few of Key management concepts are also highlighted.

Keywords- Cloud Computing, Security issues, Key Management, Data Security
