Cloud computing facilitates the user by providing the resources of third party in the name of infrastructure, hardware and software irrespective of the physical position over the internet network. Cloud computing infrastructures allow the user to access the data anywhere at any time as long as the user’s device has access with the internet. Such activity improves the use of internet application which provides “pay as you go” facility. Hence this flexibility creates an impact upon the user and made them to transfer their data to cloud. But it may lay some security issues also. Technology implemented by Cryptographic algorithms were actualized to defeat the security issues and to guarantee the security of data that stored in cloud computing. Nowadays numerous encryption and decryption procedures have been proposed to keep up security for the data that stored in cloud environment. In this paper, an investigation was made on the distinctive cryptographic algorithms and comparative analysis was done and explained. Keywords: Cloud Computing, Cryptography, Encryption, Decryption, AES, RSA, MD5 I. Introduction Cloud computing has developed as an exceptionally understood strategy to encourage broad and voluminous data with the help of shared pool of benefits and tremendous accumulating area. [1] cited that "Cloud computing is another index perspective that is rely upon virtualization, appropriated figuring, utility giving out and organization situated designing". Further it is included that cloud computing has developed as a standout amongst the most critical worldview of the IT business and has pulled in the greater part of the business and the scholarly group of people. [1] have epitomize distributed computing as "Cloud computing is a portrayal for engaging unavoidable, worthwhile, on-ask for sort out access to a typical pool of configurable preparing resources (e.g., frameworks, servers, storing, applications, and organizations) that can be immediately provisioned and released with irrelevant organization effort or expert co-task association". Cloud computing, without a doubt, is a far reaching term that transmits facilitated benefits over the Internet. These technical advancement induced the Technology industry to utilize the service in three major categories (i.e) [3]: 1. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), 2. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and 3. Software-as-a- Service (SaaS). The web is generally spoken to as the "Cloud". The most part a cloud service is utilized by the customers as and when required, regularly on the hourly premise. This "on-request" or "pay as you go" approach influences the cloud to benefit adaptable, where end client can have an incredible arrangement or unassuming of an administration the way they want at any point of time and the administration is completely regulated by the supplier. Vital redesigns in each key parts included virtualization passed on enrolling and besides the improved access to fast web office and also weak economy has speeded up the development of distributed computing altogether. As cloud figuring values handling as ampleness, providers are developing a typical shared assembling of configurable resources, which clients can vivaciously condition and free as shown by their evolving needs. Along these lines, both get-togethers the providers and the customers would easily benefit by the reuse of figuring resources and reducing in expense. The cloud benefits that are completed will be executed will reliably be joined by a couple of threats. Information about these threats should turn out to be the initial step to avert them. Subsequently security is the main worry of a few customers who want to use cloud administrations. As indicated by [10] there exist a portion of the fundamental security dangers that endeavor the utilization of Cloud Computing. A simple case of this is the activity of botnets to spread spam and malware. The other case is the application interfaces that are required to associate with cloud benefits particularly that are produced by outsiders. These interfaces must furnish the client with much secured verification, approval, encryption and development observing systems This paper organized as follows: Section 2 shows a few works that identified with the field of information security in Cloud computing. Section 3 clarify the administrations given by Cloud computing. Section 4 talks about the security challenges in Cloud computing. Section 5 clarifies the cryptographic
