Abstract
Cloud computing is a type of computing that
relies on sharing computing resources rather than
having local servers or personal devices to handle
applications. It has many service modes like Softwareas-
a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS),
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). In SaaS model,
service providers install and activate the applications in
cloud and cloud customers access the software from
cloud. So, the user doesn't have the need to purchase
and install a particular software on his/her machine.
While using SaaS model, there are multiple security
issues and problems like Data security, Data breaches,
Network security, Authentication and authorization,
Data integrity, Availability, Web application security
and Backup which are faced by users. Many
researchers minimize these security problems by
putting in hard work. A large work has been done to
resolve these problems but there are a lot of issues that
persist and need to overcome. In this research work, we
have developed a security model that improves the security of data according to the desire of the End-user.
The proposed model for different data security options
can be helpful to increase the data security through which trade-off between functionalities can be optimized for private and public data.
