In recent years, the trend has increased for the use of cloud computing, which provides broad capabilities with the sharing of resources, and thus it is possible to store and process data in the cloud remotely, but this (cloud) is untrusted because some parties can connect to the network such as the internet and read or change data because it is not protected, therefore, protecting data security and privacy is one of the challenges that must be addressed when using cloud computing. Encryption is interested in the field of security, confidentiality and integrity of information that sent by a secure connection between individuals or institutions regardless of the method used to prepare this connection. But using the traditional encryption methods to encrypt the data before sending it will force the data provider to send his private key to the server to decrypt the data to perform computations on it. In this paper we present a proposal to secure banking data transmission through the cloud by using partially homomorphic encryption algorithms such as (paillier, RSA algorithm) that allow performing mathematical operations on encrypted data without needing to decryption. A proxy server will also use for performing re-encryption process to enhance security.

Cloud Computing is widely regarded as the most radically altering trend in information technology. However, great benefits come with great challenges, especially in the area of data security and privacy protection. Since standard cloud computing uses plaintext, certain encryption algorithms were implemented in the cloud for security reasons, and ‘encrypted' data was then stored in the cloud. Homomorphic Encryption (HE), a modern kind of encryption strategy, is born as a result of this change. Primarily, the paper will focus on implementing a successful Homomorphic Encryption (HE) scheme for polynomials. Furthermore, the objective of the paper is to propose, produce and implement a method to convert the already implemented sequentially processing Homomorphic Encryption into parallel processing Homomorphic Encryption (HE) using a Parallel Processing concept (Partitioning, Assigning, Scheduling, etc) and thereby producing a better performing Homomorphic Encryption (HE) called Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) is an encryption technique that can perform specific analytical operations, functions and methods on normal or encrypted data and can still perform traditional encryption results as performed on plaintext. The three major reasons for implementing Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) are advantages like no involvement of third parties, trade-off elimination between privacy and security and quantum safety.

Healthcare sector is under pressure to reduce costs while delivering high quality of care services. This situation requires that clinical staff, equipment and IT tools to be used more equitably, judiciously and efficiently. In this sense, collaborative systems have the ability to provide opportunities for healthcare organizations to share resources and create a collaborative working environment. The lack of interoperability between dissimilar systems and operating costs are the major obstacle to the implementation of this concept. Fortunately, cloud computing has great potential for addressing interoperability issues and significantly reducing operating costs. Since the laws and regulations prohibit the disclosure of health information, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive study on security and privacy issues in cloud computing. Based on their analysis of these constraints, the authors propose a simple and efficient method that enables secure collaboration between healthcare institutions. For this reason, they propose Secure Multi-party Computation (SMC) protocols to ensure compliance with data protection legislation. Specifically, the authors use Paillier scheme to protect medical data against unauthorized usage when outsourcing computations to a public cloud. Another useful feature of this algorithm is the possibility to perform arithmetic operations over encrypted data without access to the original data. In fact, the Paillier algorithm is an efficient homomorphic encryption that supports addition operations on ciphertexts. Based on the simulation results, the proposed framework helps healthcare organizations to successfully evaluate a public function directly on encrypted data without revealing their private inputs. Consequently, the proposed collaborative application ensures privacy of medical data while completing a task.

Multiple Clients

Fully homomorphic encryption schemes (FHE) are a type of encryption algorithm dedicated to data security in cloud computing. It allows for performing computations over ciphertext. In addition to this characteristic, a verifiable FHE scheme has the capacity to allow an end user to verify the correctness of the computations done by a cloud server on his encrypted data. Since FHE schemes are known to be greedy in term of processing consumption and slow in terms of runtime execution, it is very useful to look for improvement techniques and tools to improve FHE performance. Parallelizing computations is among the best tools one can use for FHE improvement. Batching is a kind of parallelization of computations when applied to an FHE scheme, it gives it the capacity of encrypting and homomorphically processing a vector of plaintexts as a single ciphertext. This is used in the context of cloud computing to perform a known function on several ciphertexts for multiple clients at the same time. The advantage here is in optimizing resources on the cloud side and improving the quality of services provided by the cloud computing. In this article, the authors will present a detailed survey of different FHE improvement techniques in the literature and apply the batching technique to a promising verifiable FHE (VFHE) recently presented by the authors at the WINCOM17 conference.

With introduction of smart things into our lives, cloud computing is used in many different areas and changes the communication method. However, cloud computing should guarantee the complete security assurance in terms of privacy protection, confidentiality, and integrity. In this paper, a Homomorphic Encryption Scheme based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (HES-ECC) is proposed for secure data transfer and storage. The scheme stores the data in the cloud after encrypting them. While calculations, such as addition or multiplication, are applied to encrypted data on cloud, these calculations are transmitted to the original data without any decryption process. Thus, the cloud server has only ability of accessing the encrypted data for performing the required computations and for fulfilling requested actions by the user. Hence, storage and transmission security of data are ensured. The proposed public key HES-ECC is designed using modified Weil-pairing for encryption and additional homomorphic property. HES-ECC also uses bilinear pairing for multiplicative homomorphic property. Security of encryption scheme and its homomorphic aspects are based on the hardness of Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), Weil Diffie-Hellman Problem (WDHP), and Bilinear Diffie-Helman Problem (BDHP).

Cloud Computing System

The cloud healthcare system represents an important application for cloud computing, as it uses the cloud for the operations of storing patient medical data and sharing it between health care service providers and patients, making the security and privacy of e-health system data the main concern of researchers. This paper presents an integrated secure model for the healthcare system in cloud computing that achieves the security and confidentiality of data transferred through cloud computing, by combining the two algorithms AES and RSA with the access control algorithm CP-ABE in order to use the advantages of each of them, where the encryption process is done by a proposed algorithm which is based on the RSA algorithm, the XOR parameter, and the AES algorithm; the secrecy of the AES algorithm has been increased by generating a dynamic key, and the confidentiality of this key has been secured with two encryption levels, the first level using the CP-ABE algorithm and the second level using the RSA algorithm. The proposed model is characterized by meeting the requirements of access control, authentication, and verification for both the transmitter and the receiver, and the results of the application of this model proved its ability to meet the security requirements of the health care system in cloud computing with the lowest possible implementation time, as the execution times were at the transmitter's end (43.2, 43.83, 45.11, 48. 23, 50.77, 52.16, 57.95, 63.2, and 63.35)ms for variable file sizes (37, 50, 100, 150, 200, 256, 512, 1000, and 1024)KB, respectively. The results also showed its superiority in terms of security requirements in cloud computing and the necessary implementation times on studied reference models.

Most banks in our time still use the common traditional systems of high cost and relatively slow, we are now in the era of speed and technology, and these systems do not keep pace with our current age, so saving cost and time will be considered a fantastic thing for banks. The way to that is to implement cloud computing strategies with Considering data security and protection when it comes to using the cloud. The best solution to protect data security on the cloud is fully homomorphic encryption systems. The time it takes to encrypt and decrypt data is one of the main barriers it faces. Our current research provides a new algorithm for a publicly-keyed encryption system to keep bank data from tampering and theft when stored on the cloud computing platform, and our new system achieves fully Homomorphic Encryption, which allows mathematical operations to be performed on the encrypted text without the need for the original text. The security of the new system depends on the issue of analyzing huge integers, which reach 2048 bits, to their prime factors, which are considered almost impossible or unsolvable. A banking application has also been created that encrypts the data and then stores it on the cloud. The application allows the user to create accounts and deposits, transfer and withdraw funds, and everything related to banking matters.

In this paper, we consider Homomorphic Encryption (HE) to process over encrypted data in order to achieve user privacy. We present a framework solution to provide a high level of security for the symmetric HE algorithms. The proposed solution introduces a dynamic structure and dynamic diffusion’s primitives that enhance existing symmetric HE algorithms and overcome their weaknesses. We apply this solution to a well known symmetric homomorphic approach, the PORE (Polynomial Operation for Randomization and Encryption) approach. The security analysis of the proposed solution shows that it ensures a high level of security without performance degradation. It is also evaluated against different attacks. This leads to secure and efficient HE Algorithms for practical implementations.

With data growth very fast, the need for data storage and management in the cloud in a secure way is rapidly increasing, leading developers to find secure data management solutions through new technologies. One of the most advanced technologies at present is cloud computing technology that functions as an online service. Cloud computing technology relies on an external provider to provide online demand services. On the other hand, this technology is pay-for-use technology which means that the user must pay for each service provided by the provider. When we have a look back at the literature, we can find that regular database management systems with query processing specifications do not meet the requirements in cloud computing. This paper focuses on homogeneous coding, which is used primarily for knowledge security within the cloud. Homomorphic encryption has been clarified because of encryption technology in which specific operations can be managed on encrypted data information.
