Randomized Encryption

Cloud computing [1] is the most upcoming area of the IT industry that helps the users to get rid of the hardware resources and complexity in storage and computational power. All the people started using cloud which led to many security concerns relating to the data confidentiality and integrity. This became a challenge to the widespread of the new cloud computing technology. Many measures are taken to improve the cloud security and then there came the concept of cryptography to upgrade the cloud security. Today, the main problem is to sustain data privacy [2] against unreliable cloud service providers and to provide correct query results to the authenticated users. Existing approach provide confidentiality using only one symmetric encryption algorithm which generates only one secret key to both encrypt and decrypt. But this is not so secured as the attacker can easily guess the algorithm and thereby find the key. In this journal, we proposed a randomized encryption technique in which the files are randomly encrypted by three strong algorithms AES, Triple DES and Blowfish [3] which improves the security and we are also implementing new techniques to improve security like key generation via OTP method, etc. In addition to this, we are also going to solve the storage issue of redundant or duplicate files consuming the cloud storage by using a file-level de-duplication technique which can eliminate the duplication of files uploaded into the cloud, thereby saving storage and reduce the need to buy extra storage.

Abstract –Today Security issue is the topmost problem in the cloud computing environment. It leads to serious discomfort to the Governance and end-users. Numerous security solutions and policies are available however practically ineffective in use. Most of the security solutions are centered towards cloud technology and cloud service providers only and no consideration has been given to the Network, accessing, and device securities at the end-user level. The discomfort at the end-user level was left untreated. The security of the various public, private networks, variety of devices used by end-users, accessibility, and capacity of end-users is left untreated. This leads towards the strong need for the possible modification of the security architecture for data security at all levels and secured service delivery. This leads towards the strong need for the possible adaption of modified security measures and provisions, which shall provide secured hosting and service delivery at all levels and reduce the security gap between the cloud service providers and end-users. This paper investigates the study and analyze the security architecture in the Cloud environment of Govt. of India and suggest the modifications in the security architecture as per the changing scenario and to fulfill the future needs for the secured service delivery from central up to the end-user level.

Cloud computing is a promising technology that is expected to transform the healthcare industry. Cloud computing has many benefits like flexibility, cost and energy savings, resource sharing, and fast deployment. In this paper, we study the use of cloud computing in the healthcare industry and different cloud security and privacy challenges. The centralization of data on the cloud raises many security and privacy concerns for individuals and healthcare providers. This centralization of data (1) provides attackers with one-stop honey-pot to steal data and intercept data in-motion and (2) moves data ownership to the cloud service providers; therefore, the individuals and healthcare providers lose control over sensitive data. As a result, security, privacy, efficiency, and scalability concerns are hindering the wide adoption of the cloud technology. In this work, we found that the state-of-the art solutions address only a subset of those concerns. Thus, there is an immediate need for a holistic solution that balances all the contradicting requirements.

Cloud computing increases the capacity or capabilities vigorously without devoting new infrastructure, training new personnel, or licensing the new software . In the past few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fast-growing sectors of IT industry. As the more sensitive information and data are moved into the cloud data centers, they run on virtual computing resources in the form of virtual machines. Security has become one of the major issue in cloud computing which reduces the growth of cloud environment with complications in data privacy and data protection continue to outbreak the market. A new model created for the advancement should not result as a threat to the existing model. The architecture of cloud poses such a threat to the security of existing models when deployed in a cloud environment. The different cloud service users need to be attentive in considerate,about the risk of data breaks in the new environment. In this paper, advanced survey of the various secured storage in cloud computing using bidirectional protocols is presented.

The Cost

Cloud computing refers to the basic setup for an emerging model of service delivery, that has the advantage of decreasing the cost by sharing computing, infrastructure including storage resources. This can be combined with on-demand delivery mechanism relying on a pay-per-use model. Cloud computing offers an added level of risk because of essential services provided by it to a third party, which makes it difficult to maintain data privacy and security. Security in cloud computing is a critical aspect, which has various issues and challenges related to it. Cloud service providers/ brokers and the cloud service users should make aware of safety cloud. That is the cloud is safe enough from all kinds of the threats, so that the users do not face any problem like; loss of data or data theft. There is a possibility that, a malicious user can enters the cloud by imitating an authentic user, thus corrupt the entire cloud. It can affect many users who are sharing these types of clouds. This chapter mentions the list of parameters that disturb the security of the cloud. This also explores the cloud security issues and challenges faced by cloud service provider/brokers and cloud service users like; data, privacy, and infected application. Finally, it discusses the countermeasure for handling these issues and its challenges.

In Government Cloud Procurement, Kevin McGillivray explores the question of whether governments can adopt cloud computing services and still meet their legal requirements and other obligations to citizens. The book focuses on the interplay between the technical properties of cloud computing services and the complex legal requirements applicable to cloud adoption and use. The legal issues evaluated include data privacy law (GDPR and the US regime), jurisdictional issues, contracts, and transnational private law approaches to addressing legal requirements. McGillivray also addresses the unique position of governments when they outsource core aspects of their information and communications technology to cloud service providers. His analysis is supported by extensive research examining actual cloud contracts obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. With the demand for cloud computing on the rise, this study fills a gap in legal literature and offers guidance to organizations considering cloud computing.

<span lang="EN-US">Cloud Computing is the ability to improve the utility or train new human resources without investing in new infrastructure, or add capabilities to existence without the latest software licensing. It expanded the capabilities of Information Technology (IT). From the past few years, cloud computing has developed from a good business concept in the best rising sectors of the IT industry. But more information on individuals and companies was put in the cloud, and concerns began to think about how secure the cloud environment was. Despite cloud surrounding structures, enterprise users still do not want to expand their business in the cloud. Security reduces the growth of cloud computing and continues to spread the market with complexity with data privacy and data protection. The security of cloud computing has constantly been an significant aspect of improved quality of service from cloud service providers.  Data storage in the cloud has a problem related to data security. However, cloud computing construct many new security challenges which have not been well examine. In order to ensure that the user's data in the cloud is secure, we have proposed an effective mechanism with a distinctive feature of data integrity and privacy. This paper focusing on problems relating to the cloud data storage techniques and security in virtual environment. We recommend a method for providing data storage and security in cloud using public key Cryptosystem, which uses the concept of the modified RSA algorithm to provide better security for the data stored in the cloud. </span>

Cloud computing is a technology where it provides software, platform, infrastructure, security and everything as a service. But this technology faces many security issues because all the data or information are stored in the hands of the third party. The cloud users unable to know where the data are store in the cloud environment and also it is very difficult to analyze the trustworthiness of the cloud service providers. In this technology providing security is a very big challenging task. This challenge was overcome by developing different cloud security algorithms using cryptographic techniques. Recently many researchers identified that if the cryptographic algorithms are combined in a hybrid manner it will increase the security in the cloud environment. Even though, many research works are still carried out to improve security in the cloud computing environment. In this research article, a new step was taken to develop a new cloud security algorithm

Service providers provide virtualized IT resources by using Internet technologies in their services. Users use the provided IT resources as much as they want and pay the corresponding fee. In such cloud computing environments, issues of malicious codes, hacking and leak of confidential information are the biggest concerns of the people involved. In this paper, we study the virtualization security management, which is important for the proper management of collection of virtualization resources information and security events, monitoring and analysis of cloud security situations, and cloud security policies. Specifically, we propose the structuring of the virtualization security management system and the management method to reduce the complexity of administering the virtual machines installed in the cloud data centers caused by the inherent properties of virtual machines characterized by dynamic changes in the form of image files. Therefore, we studied the tracing method for history of infected virtual machines following an analysis of the VM lifecycle status and VM running states.

Cloud computing is revolutionizing the IT industry by enabling them to offer access to the infrastructure and application services on a third party basis. Due to the vast diversity in the available Cloud services, from the customer’s point of view, it has become difficult to decide whose services they should use and what are the criteria for the selection? There are two types of QoS requirements which a user can have: functional and non-functional. Some of them cannot be measured easily given the nature of the Cloud. Attributes like security and user experience are not easy to quantify. Moreover, deciding which service matches best with all functional and non functional requirements is a decision problem. The Fundamental issue to handle such a problem is Quality of Service (QoS) parameters. Many   SLA languages and frameworks have been developed as solutions; however, there is no overall classification and the criteria for these extensive works. Therefore, the aim of this research is to present a comprehensive study that how SLAs are created, managed by fulfilling the QoS in cloud computing environment.
