Analysis of access control model for data security and privacy on multi-tenant SaaS
Cloud computing has become most trending and emerging technology in recent years and has changed the way of computation and services delivered to customer. Despite all the advantages that cloud provides, users still feel insecure to adopt cloud computing and having major concern over the data securi...
