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

Flexible Yet Secure De-Duplication Service for Enterprise Data on Cloud Storage

The cloud storage services bring forth infinite storage capacity and flexible access capability to store and share large-scale content. The convenience brought forth has attracted both individual and enterprise users to outsource data service to a cloud provider. As the survey shows 56% of the usages of cloud storage applications are for data back up and up to 68% of data backup are user assets. Enterprise tenants would need to protect their data privacy before uploading them to the cloud and expect a reasonable performance while they try to reduce the operation cost in terms of cloud storage, capacity and I/Os matter as well as systems’ performance, bandwidth and data protection. Thus, enterprise tenants demand secure and economic data storage yet flexible access on their cloud data. In this paper, we propose a secure de-duplication solution for enterprise tenants to leverage the benefits of cloud storage while reducing operation cost and protecting privacy. First, the solution uses a proxy to do flexible group access control which supports secure de-duplication within a group; Second, the solution supports scalable clustering of proxies to support large-scale data access; Third, the solution can be integrated with cloud storage seamlessly. We implemented and tested our solution by integrating it with Dropbox. Secure de-duplication in a group is performed at low data transfer latency and small storage overhead as compared to de-duplication on plaintext

Implementation of Deduplication on Encrypted Big-data using Signcryption for cloud storage applications

As Big Data Cloud storage servers are getting widespread the shortage of disc space within the cloud becomes a major concern. The elimination of duplicate or redundant data, particularly in computer data is named deduplication. Data deduplication is a method to regulate the explosive growth of information within the cloud storage, most of the storage providers are finding more secure and efficient methods for their sensitive method. Recently, a noteworthy technique referred to as signcryption has been proposed, in which both the properties of signature (ownership) and encryption are simultaneously implemented with better performance According to deduplication, we introduce a method that can eliminate redundant encrypted data owned by different users. Furthermore, we generate a tag which will be the key component of big data management. We propose a technique called digital signature for ownership verification. Convergent encryption also called for a content hash key cryptosystem. Convergent encryption is an encryption approach that supports deduplication. With this encryption technique, the encryption key is generated out of a hash of plain text. Therefore applying this technique, identical plaintexts would turn out the same ciphertext

SECURE DEDUP WITH ENCRYPTED DATA

Cloud computing is one of the way of service provision over the internet today. Cloud computing is the developing a next level from the last decades. One of the drawbacks, cloud storage is a privacy security at the CSP. So, the chunks users stored by the encrypted data for the purpose of security. Cloud storage vendors which allow to decreases chunked data and more efficient storage saver. One of the best techniques is deduplication, duplicate data is stored only once .In this paper, propose a checksum algorithm for distributing objects to agents, in a way that improves our chances of identifying a leaker. We evaluate its performance based on effective and efficient storage level. Its support data access control and revocation at the same time
