A comprehensive meta-analysis of cryptographic security mechanisms for cloud computing

The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.The concept of cloud computing offers measurable computational or information resources as a service over the Internet. The major motivation behind the cloud setup is economic benefits, because it assures the reduction in expenditure for operational and infrastructural purposes. To transform it into a reality there are some impediments and hurdles which are required to be tackled, most profound of which are security, privacy and reliability issues. As the user data is revealed to the cloud, it departs the protection-sphere of the data owner. However, this brings partly new security and privacy concerns. This work focuses on these issues related to various cloud services and deployment models by spotlighting their major challenges. While the classical cryptography is an ancient discipline, modern cryptography, which has been mostly developed in the last few decades, is the subject of study which needs to be implemented so as to ensure strong security and privacy mechanisms in today’s real-world scenarios. The technological solutions, short and long term research goals of the cloud security will be described and addressed using various classical cryptographic mechanisms as well as modern ones. This work explores the new directions in cloud computing security, while highlighting the correct selection of these fundamental technologies from cryptographic point of view

Implementation of Dynamic Virtual Cloud Architecture for Privacy Data Storage

Nowadays rapidly developing technologies, cloud computing offers versatile services. However, cloud computing presents a challenge to secure information sharing. Customers can securely share their data with others and remotely store it in the cloud using cloud storage services. In recent times, cloud storage typically represents as the primary method of external data storage. The primary challenge is safeguarding the cloud-based data against attacks. Over the information network, the growth of private or semi-private information has increased. The search techniques have not been addressed by privacy safeguards. As there is no suitable audit system, the validity of the stored data has become in question. In addition, user authentication presents additional difficulties. Hence in order to solve these issues, Design and implementation of dynamic virtual cloud architecture for privacy data storage is presented. In this approach, third-party audits are presented accompanied a new, regenerative public audit methodology. A distributed KDC (Key Distribution Center) is employed to encrypt the data. Documents can be stored on a private server in plain word form, which compromise the protection of privacy. As a result, system security can be improved to make the documents safer and more effective. The main objective of this Virtual Cloud Architecture is to achieve data confidentiality, as well as authenticity.&nbsp
