Data Security and Privacy in Cloud Storage 　　In this paper， we survey data security and privacy problems created by cloud storage applications and propose a cloud storage security architecture. We discuss state-of-the-art techniques for ensuring the privacy and security of data stored in the cloud. We discuss policies for access control and data integrity， availability， and privacy. We also discuss several key solutions proposed in current literature and point out future research directions. 　　cloud storage； cloud computing； data security； privacy-preserving 　　1 Introduction 　　ith the recent development of information technology， various types of cloud storage platforms have appeared. These platforms are often convenient， scalable， and cost-effective， so cloud computing services are widely used. Amazon’s EC2/S3， Google’s MapReduce/AppEngine， Microsoft’s Azure， IBM’s Blue Cloud and Salesforce’s CRM are well-known cloud service platforms. In China， the cloud platforms of Sinochem Group and Wuxi and Dongying municipal governments have appeared. At the same time， the national strategy for cloud storage and utility computing has been developing. Utility computing service models based on cloud storage have many new characteristics. New models based on cloud storage use a variety of techniques designed to tightly manage resources and provide users with flexible services. These new service models are likely to have a knock-on effect and cause significant changes within the industry. They will give rise to many new security issues that need to be addressed. At present， cloud storage is only really applied in scenarios where a high level of security is not required. Privacy and security are significant obstacles in the development of utility computing based on cloud storage. Security vulnerabilities of cloud service providers such as Amazon， Google， and Microsoft are widely publicized， and much attention has been drawn to these vulnerabilities. In [1]， cloud security
