Abstract: In this paper, we survey data security and privacy problems created by cloud storage applications and propose a cloud storage security architecture. We discuss state-of-the-art techniques for ensuring the privacy and security of data stored in the cloud. We discuss policies for access control and data integrity, availability, and privacy. We also discuss several key solutions proposed in current literature and point out future research directions.
