Secret Sharing for Cloud Data Security

Cloud computing helps reduce costs, increase business agility and deploy solutions with a high return on investment for many types of applications. However, data security is of premium importance to many users and often restrains their adoption of cloud technologies. Various approaches, i.e., data encryption, anonymization, replication and verification, help enforce different facets of data security. Secret sharing is a particularly interesting cryptographic technique. Its most advanced variants indeed simultaneously enforce data privacy, availability and integrity, while allowing computation on encrypted data. The aim of this paper is thus to wholly survey secret sharing schemes with respect to data security, data access and costs in the pay-as-you-go paradigm

Security Enhancement on Cloud to multi Cloud using Audio Cryptography

Nowadays, cloud computing is most popular and modern technology of storing the large amount of information on the internet and accessing it from anywhere. Costs reduction, universal access, availability of number of applications and flexibility is a number of reasons for popularity of cloud computing. Users store sensitive information on cloud, providing security becomes important aspect as these cloud service providers cannot be trusted one. As the cloud computing assures user to provide the data, the cloud computing environment failure may result in loss or unavailability of data so the concept of Multi-Clouds is introduces. Dealing with single cloud” service providers are anticipated to become infamous with customers due to scare of service availability failure and the possibility of malicious intruders in the individual cloud. Multi-clouds guarantee to provide service at any cost if there is any failure at any cloud due to any reason. The use of multi-clouds as it can tackle the security and mainly availability issues much effectively than single cloud that affects cloud computing user. The proposed work surveys recent research related to single and multi cloud security and addresses possible solutions. This work aims to promote the use of multi clouds to solve problem of data availability due to failure in individual cloud. To provide data confidentiality as well as data integrity, security mechanism which uses an image audio secret sharing scheme(ASS) cryptography instead of visual secret sharing scheme(VSS)

A Novel Approach for Securing Cloud Data Using Cryptographic Approach

— Nowadays, many businesses are making use cloud computing facility either directly (e.g. Google or Amazon) or indirectly (e.g. Twitter) instead of traditional on-site alternatives. Costs reduction, universal access, availability of number of applications and flexibility is a number of reasons for popularity of cloud computing. As the cloud service providers cannot be trusted one, enough security is an important aspect to consider so that user can store sensitive information securely. The concept of Multi Clouds is introduces as cloud computing assures user to provide the data, the cloud computing environment failure may result in loss or unavailability of data. Multi clouds guarantee to provide service at any cost if there is any failure at any cloud due to any reason. The use of multi clouds as it can tackle the security and mainly availability issues much effectively than single cloud that affects cloud computing user. This paper presents survey of recent research related to single and multi cloud security and addresses possible solutions. This aims to promote the use of multi clouds to solve problem of data availability due to failure in individual cloud. To provide data confidentiality, data integrity as well as authenticity, security mechanisms such as data encryption, visual secret sharing scheme (VSS)and digital signature are used

Data Security in Cloud Storage

Cloud Computing is a generic term for delivering hosted services over the Internet. It follows a pay-per-use approach. Cloud Computing offers numerous benefits for the enterprises, however, there are also many issues, as with any new paradigm or technology. One of the main issues relate to the security and confidentiality of customer data in terms of its location, relocation, availability and security. From the consumer’s perspective, cloud computing security concerns, especially data security, remain the primary inhibitor for adoption of cloud computing services. This reports outlines the Cloud technology overview, brief explains the delivery and deployment models for data storage security, analysis on data security and discusses the issues relating to data in the Cloud computing across all stages of data life cycle

Database Security Issues and Challenges in Cloud Computing

The majority of enterprises have recently enthusiastically embraced cloud computing, and at the same time, the database has moved to the cloud. This cloud database paradigm can lower data administration expenses and free up new business to concentrate on the product that is being delivered. Furthermore, issues with scalability, flexibility, performance, availability, and affordability can be resolved with cloud computing. Security, however, has been noted as posing a serious risk to cloud databases and has been essential in fostering public acceptance of cloud computing. Several security factors should be taken into account before implementing any cloud database management system. These features comprise, but are not restricted to, data privacy, data isolation, data availability, data integrity, confidentiality, and defense against insider threats. In this paper, we discuss the most recent research that took into account the security risks and problems associated with adopting cloud databases. In order to better comprehend these problems and how they affect cloud databases, we also provide a conceptual model. Additionally, we look into these problems to the extent that they are relevant and provide two instances of vendors and security features that were used for cloud-based databases. Finally, we provide an overview of the security risks associated with open cloud databases and suggest possible future paths

From Single to Multi-clouds Computing Privacy and Fault Tolerance

AbstractSecurity issues of data hosted in a Cloud Computing provider remain hidden seen excessive marketing that led to a totally unrealistic view of cloud computing security. Although Cloud Computing has not yet reached the level of maturity expected by its customers, and that the problems of confidentiality, integrity, reliability and consistency (CIRC) are still open, the researchers in this field have already considered a future cloud strategy which aims: a better QoS, reliability and high availability, it is the Multi-Clouds, Cloud of Clouds or Interclouds.This paper will present the security limitations in the single Cloud and the usefulness of adopting rather Multi-Clouds strategy to reduce security risks, through the use of DepSky which is a virtual storage system that ensures better availability and high confidentiality of data
