A Review Of Cloud Computing Security: Virtualization, Side-channel Attacks, And Management

In recent years cloud computing has become a growing interest for organizations looking to reduce their IT costs by offloading infrastructure and software costs onto 3rd party organizations who offer Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) (e.g. Google Apps), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) (e.g. Google App Engine), and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) (e.g. Amazon EC2).
