Abstract: Cloud computing transforms the way information technology (IT) is consumed and managed, promisingimproved cost efficiencies, accelerated innovation, faster time-to-market, and the ability to scaleapplications on demand. However, as the shape of the cloud computing is emerging and developingrapidly both conceptually and in reality, the legal/contractual, economic, service quality,interoperability, security and privacy issues still pose significant challenges. In this project, we describevarious service and deployment models of cloud computing and identify major challenges. In particular,we discuss three critical challenges: security and privacy issues in cloud computing. Some solutionsto mitigate these challenges are also proposed along with a brief presentation on the future trendsin cloud computing deployment. The use of cloud computing has increased rapidly in many organizations.Cloud computing provides many benefits in terms of low cost and accessibility of data. Ensuring thesecurity of cloud computing is a major factor in the cloud computing environment, as users often storesensitive information with cloud storage providers but these providers may not be trusted.
