This paper analyses cloud computing’s security integration and IoT. Cloud computing
is new technology that refers to the infrastructure in where both the data processing and data
storage operate outside of smart phones. Internet of Things (IoT) is another new technology.
IoT is a technology that is rapidly growing in telecommunication’s field. To be more specific,
IoT is related to wireless communication. Major goal of cooperation and interaction among
objects and things that is sent via wireless networks is fulfilling objective which is set for
them as the combined entity. Additionally, there is quick development of the technologies,
IoT as well as Cloud Computing, within wireless communications’ field. In the paper, survey
of Cloud computing as well as IoT is presented with focus on both technologies’ security
issues for examining common features and for discovering benefits of the integration. In
conclusion, Cloud computing’s contribution to technology of IoT is presented. Hence, this
shows how technology of Cloud computing improves IoT’s function. Finally, survey is
conducted about security issues of integration of Cloud computing and IoT.

This paper analyses cloud computing’s security problem. Cloud computing is the
computational paradigm which offers the business model that is innovative for the
organizations for adopting IT without the upfront investment. There are potential gains which
are achieved through cloud computing, however model security still is questionable that
impacts adoption of cloud model. Issue of security becomes much more complicated for
cloud model as there are new dimensions’ rise in problem scope which are related to

elasticity, model architecture, layers dependency stack and multi-tenancy. In the paper, depth
analysis is introduced about problems of cloud security. The problem is investigated from
perspective of cloud architecture, perspective of characteristics of cloud, perspective of
models for service delivery of cloud and perspective of cloud stakeholders. Depending on the
analysis, detailed specification about problem of cloud security along with the key features
which should be covered using the proposed solution for security are derived.
