Abstract

E-services are becoming more and more a cloud-based with the growth of Cloud Computing and E-society. The aim of this paper is to illustrate those applications and the main challenges that face the adaptation of Cloud Computing, which are mainly privacy and security issues, and what can be done to solve them and prevent problems.
