Secure File Storage On Cloud
Using Hybrid Cryptography
The proposed model is liable to meet the required security
needs of data center of cloud. Blowfish used for the encryption of
file slices takes minimum time and has maximum throughput for
encryption and decryption from other symmetric algorithms. The
idea of splitting and merging adds on to meet the principle of
data security. The hybrid approach when deployed in cloud
environment makes the remote server more secure and thus,
helps the cloud providers to fetch more trust of their users. For
data security and privacy protection issues, the fundamental
challenge of separation of sensitive data and access control is
fulfilled. Cryptography technique translates original data into
unreadable form. Cryptography technique is divided into
symmetric key cryptography and public key cryptography. This
technique uses keys for translate data into unreadable form. So
only authorized person can access data from cloud server. Cipher
text data is visible for all people.
Software Requirements:
Windows 7 or above
SQL Server 2008
Visual Studio 2010
Hardware Components:
Processor – Core i3
Hard Disk – 160 GB
Memory – 2GB
Internet Connection
Advantages:
The stored image file is completely secured, as the file is
being encrypted not by just using one but three
encryption algorithm which are AES, DES and RC6.
The key is also safe as it embeds the key in image using
LSB.
The system is very secure and robust in nature.
Data is kept secured on cloud server which avoids
unauthorized access.
Disadvantages:
Requires an active internet connection to connect with
cloud server.
Application:
Data security is a major priority. This system can be
implemented into banking and corporate sectors to securely
transfer confidential data.
