Efficient encryption scheme for secure data storage in cloud computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is a computing model, in which a large group of systems is joined in networks, to provide interactively extensible infrastructure for databases, processing power, data storage, and software. This technology has transformed the facade of conventional computing technologies. In addition, this technology provides various benefits to the various field, though it should deal with different challenges to gratify its maturity level. Cloud Computing allows users to store data and as well to evaluate the applications and utilities provided by cloud servers. Though ample data can be saved on cloud servers, privacy and security are the major issues to be considered, which literally limit the growth of cloud computing. Consequently, Cloud Computing involves comprehensive security solutions. In this context, this research has presented safe file exchange on cloud sources using encryption algorithms that can resolve data security and authentication issues of files stored on the cloud. The majority of Cloud Computing applications cannot assure a high level of security and integrity of data because of a transition from a third party. This essentially brings in the progression of the cloud encryption system, which facilitates them to encrypt their dataset before storing it in the cloud source. It can provide most of the hardware and software services demanded by organizations for storing, generating, handling, and running customer applications on the cloud and it provides the services to numerous users by virtualization. Encryption schemes contribute to converting stored data into a form, which is not inclusive to unapproved users with unapproved access to data saved. Encryption is a technique utilized to assured the security, integrity, and reliability of data. Over time, encryption plays an important role in hiding or protecting information of high privacy and with the arrival of Cloud Computing, it provides a pay-for-each-use system to outsource the data. The research is mainly focused on data security, particu
