Cloud adoption is widely popular in all enterprises and institutions in todays’ scenario. This paper describes how cloud is adopted in educational institution. Cloud provides many benefits to users and it also has some security related issues in its adoption. To address the security problem in the cloud adoption in educational institutional, this paper proposes an architecture for secure adoption of cloud in educational institutions. The proposed architecture provides many benefits to users with secured cloud environment. The architecture uses four security parameters that are Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality and Integrity. These four parameters are securing the cloud environment from users’ side to cloud environment. The authentication and authorization are used to check the entry of users to identity the unauthorized access. Confidentiality and integrity is used to ensure that the content in the cloud environment is only accessed by the authorized users.

The proposed architecture provides many benefits to users with secured cloud environment. The architecture uses four security parameters that are Authentication, Authorization, Confidentiality and Integrity. These four parameters are securing the cloud environment from users’ side to cloud environment. The authentication and authorization are used to check the entry of users to identity the unauthorized access. Confidentiality and integrity is used to ensure that the content in the cloud environment is only accessed by the authorized users.
