Abstract: Cloud computing enables end-users with limited computational resources to outsource large-scale computational problems to the public cloud, where massive computational power can be easily utilized in a pay-per-use manner. However, security is the major concern critical to the wide adoption of cloud services. In this talk, I will present a number of security challenges in cloud computing and discuss their impacts and possible solution directions. Specifically, the focus will be given on cloud data storage security, encrypted cloud data search, and secure computation outsourcing.
