Enabling Efficient Fuzzy Keyword Search over Encrypted Data in Cloud Computing

As Cloud Computing becomes prevalent, more and more sensitive information are being centralized into the cloud. For the protection of data privacy, sensitive data usually have to be encrypted before outsourcing, which makes effective data utilization a very challenging task. Although traditional searchable encryption schemes allow a user to securely search over encrypted data through keywords and selectively retrieve files of interest, these techniques support only \emph{exact} keyword search. That is, there is no tolerance of minor typos and format inconsistencies which, on the other hand, are typical user searching behavior and happen very frequently. This significant drawback makes existing techniques unsuitable in Cloud Computing as it greatly affects system usability, rendering user searching experiences very frustrating and system efficacy very low. In this paper, for the first time we formalize and solve the problem of effective fuzzy keyword search over encrypted cloud data while maintaining keyword privacy. Fuzzy keyword search greatly enhances system usability by returning the matching files when users\u27 searching inputs exactly match the predefined keywords or the closest possible matching files based on keyword similarity semantics, when exact match fails. In our solution, we exploit edit distance to quantify keywords similarity and develop two advanced techniques on constructing fuzzy keyword sets, which achieve optimized storage and representation overheads. We further propose a brand new symbol-based trie-traverse searching scheme, where a multi-way tree structure is built up using symbols transformed from the resulted fuzzy keyword sets. Through rigorous security analysis, we show that our proposed solution is secure and privacy-preserving, while correctly realizing the goal of fuzzy keyword search. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed solution

Efficient Multi - Keyword Ranked Search over Encrypted Cloud Computing

Cloud computing allow customer to store their data on remote site so it reduce burden on local complex data storing. But before storing sensitive data it can encrypted and this can overcome plaintext keyword search.AS large number of user and data on cloud and for search on that data allow multi keyword search also provide result similarity ranking for effective retrieval of data. From number of multi-keyword semantics to identify similarity between search query and data highly efficient rule of coordinate matching, i.e., as many matches as possible, and then use inner data similarity for quantitatively similarity measure. In this system, we define and solve the challenging problem of privacy-preserving multi-keyword ranked search over encrypted cloud data (MRSE),and establish a set of strict privacy requirements for such a secure cloud data utilization system to be implemented in real. We first propose basic idea of different privacy preserving multi-keyword search technique along with search on data that store on cloud in encrypted form and maintaining the integrity of rank order in search result and the cloud server is untrusted. .By hiding the user’s identity, the confidentiality of user’s data is maintaine

Secured Uploading and Retrieval of Data Using Visual Cryptography Scheme

Cloud storage provides a convenient, massive, and scalable storage at low cost, but data security is a major issue that prevents users from storing ?les on the cloud. This paper focuses on security for the documents that are uploaded and stored on the cloud. However, it poses risks to end users unless the data is encrypted for security. This study addresses these issues by proposing Visual Cryptography Scheme (VCS) for securing the files. In order to prevent issues like breaches and malware attacks on cloud, this innovative scheme helps in high level security to safeguard the files that are stored on the clou
