Cloud Computing and Data Masking Techniques

Abstract

Cloud computing is a technology, which provides low cost, scalable computation capacity and services to enterprises on demand for expansion. Although, cloud computing is facilitating the Information technology industry, the research and development in this arena is yet to be satisfactory. Cloud computing resources offered service on an as-needed basis, and delivered by IP-based connectivity, providing highly scalable, reliable on-demand services with agile management capabilities. There are a lot of development in the cloud computing, security of the data in the cloud has become the one of major aspects in the cloud computing. Cloud computing is nothing but the sharing of the resources in an open environment which leads to the security problems. This paper aim is to provide different models of cloud computing and data masking techniques for providing security.
