The introduction of cloud computing has triggered a change in computer community. The varying requirements of users are faultlessly met by the cloud. The cloud is used for a variety of purposes including storage services. Cloud storage services allow users to store their data and thus reduce space consumption. But security and privacy of data stored in cloud is a major issue faced by the user’s and service providers alike.
