Abstract

Cloud computing is a complex infrastructure of software, hardware, processing, and storage that is available as a service. Cloud computing offers immediate access to large numbers of the world's most sophisticated supercomputers and their corresponding processing power, interconnected at various locations around the world, proffering speed in the tens of trillions of computations per second. Information in databases and software scattered around the Internet. There are many service providers in the internet, we can call each service as a cloud, each cloud service will exchange data with other cloud, so when the data is exchanged between the clouds, there exist the problem of security. Security is an important issue for cloud computing, both in terms of legal compliance and user trust, and needs to be considered at every phase of design. In contrast to traditional solutions, where the IT services are under proper physical, logical and personnel controls, Cloud Computing moves the application software and databases to the large data centers, where the management of the data and services may not be trustworthy. This unique attribute, however, poses many new security challenges. Cloud computing seems to offer some incredible benefits for communicators.
