Securing the Multitenancy Paradigm in Cloud Computing: An Exploration of Current Literature.

Security in multi-tenant databases in cloud computing is a critical aspect, as it ensures that sensitive data is protected and isolated from other tenants. In a multi-tenant environment, multiple organizations or customers share the same infrastructure, making it challenging to ensure the security of their data. In this study, several papers have been analyzed from journals and conference papers, covering a variety of works on Security Multitenant databases in cloud computing. The articles in the literature used for the review were published between 2012 and 2022. This abstract presents a Hybrid approach for securing multi-tenant databases in cloud computing. This paper illustrates the approach which uses a combination of encryption and virtualization techniques to secure data and provide isolation between tenants. The main idea behind this approach is to balance the trade-off between security and performance, which are crucial aspects in multi-tenant environments. This approach's use of encryption ensures the security of data both in transit and at rest, and the virtualization process adds a layer of protection by isolating residents from one another. This survey shows that it is a viable solution for securing multi-tenant databases in the cloud, providing an acceptable level of security and performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
