The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) remains an important requirement for many electronic services which utilise user data. GDPR compliance verification for a cloud provider is aimed to confirm that personal data provided by a user is shared in-line with the requirements of this legislation, so that any subsequent audit carried out on the provider does not lead to a financial penalty. This verification involves two aspects: (i) ensuring that user consent has been obtained; (ii) sharing of data with external cloud providers is undertaken in a transparent way, so that the user is aware of which providers the information was shared with and for what purpose. Using a survey we describe why users are still ambivalent about the use of GDPRand how its adoption can be improved using a Blockchain-based architecture that can provide greater transparency on how GDPR compliance is supported by cloud providers.

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models. economic utility model with existing computing technologies including the distributed services, applications and information infrastructure. However, without appropriate security and privacy solutions designed for clouds, this potentially revolutionizing computing paradigm could become a huge failure, as in this field cloud computing include activities such as the use of social networking sites and other forms of personal computing. And that's why, the privacy issues and concerns are arising among it.so cloud must ensure that customers continue to have the same level of security and privacy control over their applications and services.

Cloud computing is considered a new generation of technology that has offered many benefits such as flexibility, efficiency, reduction in IT cost and so on. However, the dependence on the cloud provider to process and manage the personal data leads to many privacy and confidentiality risks.. In this paper, we propose a framework that aims to evaluate if the cloud provider meets the privacy related issues. Moreover, this proposed framework helps the cloud provider to enhance the privacy provision level to increase the trust of customers on cloud provider services.

In the field of computing, data security has always been a serious concern. It becomes considerably more severe in the cloud-computing technology environment because data is stored in several locations around the world. Users' biggest concerns about cloud technology are data privacy protection. Privacy and security protection are becoming more crucial for the future growth of cloud computing technology in government, industry, and business, even though numerous techniques on cloud computing themes have been researched in both academics and industries. In the cloud architecture, data security and privacy protection concern both hardware and software. This research will examine various security strategies, as well as problems from both software and hardware perspectives, for securing data in the cloud, to improve data security and privacy control in a reliable cloud environment. The article examines the most important security and privacy concerns surrounding cloud computing as they pertain to outsourcing elements of an organization's computing environment. It highlights areas of concern that require extra attention and offers the underlying information needed to make informed security decisions.

Human life today has become entangled in the Internet. We access e-mail, store content, and use services online without a thought as to where data reside or how data are protected. The "cloud," a conceptualization of how data reside on the Internet rather than locally, is the latest technological innovation or computing trend du jour. However, many concerns surrounding cloud computing remain unaddressed. How are the data we store online kept confidential? Who else has the right to access our private information? What kind of laws and policies offer us protection?

Cloud computing has revolutionised the way in which computing services are delivered and managed in the contemporary society and economy. The emergence of computers and the internet, the one hand, accelerated the swift technological developments in especially in the computing domain thus speeding up the rapid growth and diffusion of cloud computing. But, at one and the same time, on the other hand, they tectonically transformed the contemporary society and economy into information/knowledge/ digital society and economy. Both are reciprocally and interactively related, strengthening each other in their operational and functional practices. These practices, in the wake of coming of 'data revolution' and consequent 'datafication' of the society and economy, abundantly exhibited different types of security issues, especially privacy risks, which transmuted the erstwhile society and economy into an the information/knowledge/ digital risk society and economy and, simultaneously, became an hindrance to the diffusion of cloud computing, which itself is embedded in this risk society and economy in the global information capitalist order. Risks, particularly privacy risks, constitute the strong bridge and link between them. The present paper critically analyses and surveys these stated socio-technical developments.

This multi-disciplinary series will provide a comprehensive and coherent account of cloud computing, social media, mobile, big data, and other enabling technologies that are transforming how society operates and how people interact with each other. Each publication in the series will focus on a discrete but critical topic within business and computer science, covering existing research alongside cutting edge ideas. Volumes will be written by field experts on topics such as cloud migration, measuring the business value of the cloud, trust and data protection, fintech, and the Internet of Things. Each book has global reach and is relevant to faculty, researchers and students in digital business and computer science with an interest in the decisions and enabling technologies shaping society.

The Surge in Cloud Computing use and its Data Privacy and Security Measures, 2022

The next step in the growth of the internet is cloud computing, an Internet-based technology. Although security concerns have gained a lot of attention recently, they remain a substantial barrier to the expansion of cloud computing. It simply transfers user data and application software to massive, distantly located data centers, or "cloud," over which the user has no authority and where the administration of the data may not be totally safe. However, this one aspect of cloud computing alone poses several security issues that demand attention and thorough explanation. Therefore, a literature analysis was undertaken as part of this study to look into the problems that cloud computing has faced in the past and present as well as the many data security methods that are employed there. The study found that while several early data security concerns with cloud computing have been addressed, few of them have persisted into the present, and some recently emergent concerns have also been noted. Therefore, this study recommends putting the studied advice for cloud computing data security into practice.
