Cloud storage and computing have revolutionized the technology world for more than a decade. Cloud computing and storage have huge advantages over traditional methods. cloud storage and computing are very efficient because they have benefits like cost-effectiveness, faster speed, configuring doesn't take much time, you pay for what you use, around the clock availability, and many more. since cloud storage is cost-effective most database users move to the cloud. this brings us to the issues and challenges with cloud storage and computing. one of the major issues is the privacy of data or information transferred in a virtual environment of the cloud. since the cloud architecture is based on virtualization technology which provides a virtual environment. In recent years biometric authentication has become popular. traditional authentications such as patterns, passwords, ID, aren’t enough to stop social engineering attacks like ID Theft. such methods are easy to be forgotten, lost, guessed, brute force, or shared. biometric is more secure because it identifies the individuals by anatomical traits like a fingerprint, iris, face detection, voice, etc. since biometric data is used and stored. the government body which collects citizen details would love to store data is in the cloud to make it cost-effective. In this paper, we are going to talk about the privacy issues and problems of storing data in the cloud and how we can use biometric to achieve confidentiality and integrity.
