Abstract: Cloud computing is a newly evolved technology for complex systems that allow on‐ demand, flexible, scalable, and low cost services with
massive-scale services sharing among plentiful users. The wide receiver of the cloud computing idea has brought about significant effects in both fixed and
mobile communication systems prompting frontline research to give fitting system protocols and network architecture, alongside resource
administration/management components. In cloud computing, access control and security are two major problems. Therefore, Security of both services and
users is a substantial issue for the uses and trust of the cloud computing. This paper audits recent works concentrating on security issues, solutions, and
difficulties in cloud computing infrastructure.
Keywords: Cloud Computing, Cloud Security, Cloud Computing Infrastructure, User Authentication.
