Abstract:

Cloud Computing is an evolutionary outgrowth of prior computing approaches, which builds upon existing and new technologies where resources are available pay as you go basis. The storage capacity in cloud technology provides a large pool of storage to the users. Securing the data thus stored is the major concern. As the sensitive data are moved into the cloud data centers, it is often outsourced to be stored at the cloud service providers (CSP) and the data may be exposed to unauthorized parties. This paradigm brings forth many new challenges for securing data and access control while outsourcing sensitive data in cloud. So security can be enhanced by providing access control to the authorized user. As far as cloud security is concern, the access control policies play the major role in securing data from unauthorized user. This paper deals with various access control mechanisms in cloud computing. And a detailed analysis for the same is given.
