Data Security in Cloud Environment by Using Hybrid Encryption Technique: A Comprehensive Study on Enhancing Confidentiality and Reliability

Virtual computing resources are provided via a cloud system that is both clever and intelligent. Based on the user's request, computing resources are made available. A hybrid cloud is the best option for storing and accessing user data for cloud deployments. Maintaining security in a hybrid cloud environment is time-consuming. This study provides a novel strategy for securing data in the hybrid cloud by ensuring the user's data is protected. Users' data in a hybrid cloud is protected using cryptographic approaches provided in this approach. Using this strategy, users' data may be protected in public and private clouds using various encryption methods. The suggested data security paradigm offers various advantages to both consumers and providers in terms of data security. Three symmetric encryption methods are offered as a service in the cloud. The concept is implemented as a cloud-based application hosted in the cloud, and the effectiveness of three strategies is assessed. They are evaluated in terms of performance and security. Using the recommended encryption methods in a hybrid cloud environment is more efficient than using other methods. The proposed technique can be used for relational data. It can be modified and enhanced to process multimedia data.

In the modern era of the computing world, the data producing and using it is becoming large and instant at various places. For availing the data at different locations for processing we need to store it in the global platform. Cloud environment provides a best and easy way for this. Cloud computing is becoming as the essential thing for high-quality data services. However there are some potential problems with respect to data security. Here encryption techniques can be used for providing security, but with restricted efficiency. In this paper we propose a new encryption mechanism for providing data security in cloud environment. We propose a two round searchable encryption which supports multi keyword retrieval. Here we adapted a vector space model for improving search accuracy; the elgamal encryption technique allows users to involve in the ranking, while the essential key part of encryption will be done at the source itself. The proposed improves the data security and reduces data leakage.

Cloud security is a branch of cyber security that focuses on securing cloud computing systems. It is a method for enterprises to use the internet to access storage and virtual services while saving money on infrastructure, considered as the next-generation architecture since it combines application software and databases into big data centers. However, difficulties with confidentiality, protection, integrity, and compliance may surface when the information is not kept, examined, or computed locally. A wide range of data security-related topics are covered by cloud-based data security. For securing an organization's data across the network, data encryption is a common and effective security strategy that is a great alternative. The most vulnerable data is financial and payment systems, and medical data, which can expose customers or clients critical information. Several academics have also offered a range of approaches to safeguards to maintain data privacy and security while it is being transmitted, but there are still a lot of obstacles to the safety of data that is being stored in the cloud. In this paper, several research papers that have been authored and published in this topic are thoroughly examined and analysed. This study gives a review of the literature on different methods for establishing data security in cloud environment.

Modern technological advances have given rise to the popularity and success of cloud in organizations and industries because it provides data storage facility and computing services at minimal cost. Data security is one of the important requirements for outsourced data in a cloud storage environment. It also brings new security vulnerabilities for assuring the data confidentiality, data integrity and data access control. Data security of a cloud system depends heavily on the cloud service provider, data owner and cloud users. So, there needs to be some methodology to monitor security vulnerabilities and providing data security in cloud environment. Now a day’s providing data security in cloud storage is one of the most critical tasks. For the past few years many works have been done to assure data security but they are failed in providing data security such as information leakage, secret-key management, cloud-user authentication, breach of data confidentiality, because of collusion attack and lots of computational activities (because of large number of secret keys).In this paper, we used threshold cryptography technique for providing data security in cloud storage system. Proposed approach addresses the data security issues in cloud system more efficiently. In this Threshold cryptography technique data owner create users in groups based on place or location, project, and department, data owner allocates single secret key to each group of users for decryption of data and every users in the group shares parts or pieces of the secret key. Proposed methodology also uses data access control list to control the data access. Proposed approach provides data security more efficiently, it also increases the performance of the system and also it minimizes the number of secret keys.

The security issues in the cloud have been well studied. The data security has much importance in point of data owner. There are number of approaches presented earlier towards performance in data security in cloud. To overcome the issues, a class based multi stage encryption algorithm is presented in this paper. The method classifies the data into number of classes and different encryption scheme is used for different classes in different levels. Similarly, the user has been authenticated for their access and they have been classified into different categories. According to the user profile, the method restricts the access of user and based on the same, the method defines security measures. A system defined encryption methodology is used for encrypting the data. Moreover, the user has been returned with other encryption methods which can be decrypted by the user using their own key provided by the system. The proposed algorithm improves the performance of security and improves the data security.

With the fast development of cloud computing and its wide application, data security plays an important role in cloud computing. This paper brought up a novel data security strategy based on artificial immune algorithm on architecture of HDFS for cloud computing. Firstly, we explained the main factors influence data security in cloud environment. Then we introduce HDFS architecture, data security model and put forward an improved security model for cloud computing. In the third section, artificial immune algorithm related with negative selection and dynamic selection algorithm that adopted in our system and how they applied to cloud computing are depicted in detail. Finally simulations are taken by two steps. Former simulations are carried out to prove the performance of artificial immune algorithm brought up in this paper, the latter simulation are running on Cloudsim platform to testify that data security strategy based on artificial immune algorithm for cloud computing is efficient.

Cloud computing emerged as a promising model for delivering services over the internet, offering users a pay-as-you-use structure that grants access to infrastructures (Infrastructure as a service), platforms for running various programs (Platform as a Service) and software (Software as a Service) at minimal cost. Surprisingly, as cloud environments evolve and expand, access control has become a critical concern to ensure that the data stored in these systems maintains confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The increasing complexity of cloud architecture highlights the urgent need for a robust access control model, as the consequences of inadequate protection could be disastrous.

Cloud computing develop quickly, which has powerful computing ability and allows authorized users to store and transmit data on cloud servers. Therefore, the security of applications in the cloud environment becomes an inevitable challenge. Therefore, many scholars at home and abroad have studied how to improve the security in cloud environment. The emergence of attribute-based encryption (ABE) has made it a better choice to improve cloud security. Subsequently, since ciphertext attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) is more suitable for cloud storage than key attribute-based encryption (KP-ABE). Therefore, in view of the efficiency and security of CP-ABE, the CP-ABE’s access structure and revocation mechanism are studied in depth. Finally, we summarizes the weaknesses of the existing ABE schemes and points out the future research directions. So the paper provides a reference for further research.
