<abstract>Security in Class Based Cloud Data is undoubtedly one of the challenging tasks in Cloud Computing. Class based Cloud structure is totally a new concept where the cloud can be divided into a number of classes. Through this, a protected cloud could be implemented in hybrid cloud which helps to reduce the time and cost of searching and maintenance. Normally, the classes can be divided based on the usage of the cloud and for each and every class, there is a key for data security. This paper explains about the key management to different classes and allows the authenticated users to use them.</abstract>
