A Security Framework for Cloud Data Storage(CDS) Based on Agent

Abstract: The Cloud has become a new Information Technology(IT) model for delivering resources such as computing and storage to customers on demand, it provides both high flexibility and resources use. However we are gaining these advantages at the cost of high security threats, which presents the major brake for the migration towards Cloud Computing. Cloud Data Storage(CDS) is one of the Cloud services, it allows users to store their data in the Cloud, this service is very useful for companies and individuals, but data security remains the problem which makes customers worried about their data that reside in the Cloud. In this paper, we propose a framework of security to ensure the CDS, which is based on agents, it contains three layers: Cloud Provider layer, Customer layer and Trusted Third Party(TTP) layer.
