Toward Cloud Computing: Security and Performance

Security and performance are basic requirements for any system. They are considered the criteria for the measurement of any progress in a security system. Security is an indicator that affects the level of performance through the threats that influence the performance of parts of the cloud during the rendering of services. Both security and performance demonstrate the efficiency of cloud computing which indicates that the performance and security are measurements for the extent of the development of the cloud. In this paper, the relationship between performance and security will be examined to know the extent of their impact on the progress of cloud computing.
