Cloud computing provides elastic computing and storage resource to users. Because of the characteristic the data is not under user’s control, data security in cloud computing is becoming one of the most concerns in using cloud computing resources. To improve data reliability and availability, Public data auditing schemes is used to verify the outsourced data storage without retrieving the whole data. However, users may not fully trust the cloud service providers (CSPs) because sometimes they might be dishonest. Therefore, to maintain the integrity of cloud data, many auditing schemes have been proposed. In this paper, analysis of various existing auditing schemes with their consequences is discussed.  Keywords: — Third Party Auditor (TPA), Cloud Service Provider (CSP), Merkle-Hash Tree (MHT), Provable data Possession (PDP), Dynamic Hash Table (DHT).

Cloud computing and cloud data storage have become important applications on the Internet. An important trend in cloud computing and cloud data storage is group collaboration since it is a great inducement for an entity to use a cloud service, especially for an international enterprise. In this paper we propose a cloud data storage scheme with some protocols to support group collaboration. A group of users can operate on a set of data collaboratively with dynamic data update supported. Every member of the group can access, update and verify the data independently. The verification can also be authorized to a third-party auditor for convenience.

Cloud computing has been envisioned as the next generation architecture of IT enterprise. It moves the application software and databases to the centralized large data centers where management of data and services may not be fully trustworthy. This unique paradigm brings out many new security challenges like, maintaining correctness and integrity of data in cloud. Integrity of cloud data may be lost due to unauthorized access, modification or deletion of data. Lacking of availability of data may be due to the cloud service providers (CSP), in order to increase their margin of profit by reducing the cost, CSP may discard rarely accessed data without detecting in timely fashion. To overcome above issues, flexible distributed storage, token utilizing, signature creations used to ensure integrity of data, auditing mechanism used assists in maintaining the correctness of data and also locating, identifying of server where exactly the data has been corrupted and also dependability and availability of data achieved through distributed storage of data in cloud. Further in order to ensure authorized access to cloud data a admin module has been proposed in our previous conference paper, which prevents unauthorized users from accessing data and also selective storage scheme based on different parameters of cloud servers proposed in previous paper, in order to provide efficient storage of data in the cloud. In order to provide more efficiency in this paper dynamic data operations are supported such as updating, deletion and addition of data.

As information and processes are migrating to the cloud, Cloud Computing is drastically changing IT professionals’ working environment. Cloud Computing solves many problems of conventional computing. However, the new technology has also created new challenges such as data security, data ownership and trans-code data storage. We discussed about Cloud computing security issues, mechanism, challenges that Cloud service providers and consumers face during Cloud engineering. Based on concerning of security issues and challenges, we proposed several encryption algorithms to make cloud data secure and invulnerable. We made comparisons among DES, AES, RSA and ECC algorithms to find combinatorial optimization solutions, which fit Cloud environment well for making cloud data secure and not to be hacked by attackers.


The tradition of moving applications, data to be consumed by the applications and the data generated by the applications is increasing and the increase is due to the advantages of cloud computing. The advantages of cloud computing are catered to the application owners, application consumers and at the same time to the cloud datacentre owners or the cloud service providers also. Since IT tasks are vital for business progression, it for the most part incorporates repetitive or reinforcement segments and framework for power supply, data correspondences associations, natural controls and different security gadgets. An extensive data centre is a mechanical scale task utilizing as much power as a community. The primary advantage of pushing the applications on the cloud-based data centres are low infrastructure maintenance with significant cost reduction for the application owners and the high profitability for the data centre cloud service providers. During the application migration to the cloud data centres, the data and few components of the application become exposed to certain users. Also, the applications, which are hosted on the cloud data centres must comply with the certain standards for being accepted by various application consumers. In order to achieve the standard certifications, the applications and the data must be audited by various auditing companies. Few of the cases, the auditors are hired by the data centre owners and few of times, the auditors are engaged by application consumers. Nonetheless, in both situations, the auditors are third party and the risk of exposing business logics in the applications and the data always persists. Nevertheless, the auditor being a third-party user, the data exposure is a high risk. Also, in a data centre environment, it is highly difficult to ensure isolation of the data from different auditors, who may not be have the right to audit the data. Significant number of researches have attempted to provide a generic solution to this problem. However, the solutions are highly criticized by the research community for making generic assumptions during the permission verification process. Henceforth, this work produces a novel machine learning based algorithm to assign or grant audit access permissions to specific auditors in a random situation without other approvals based on the characteristics of the virtual machine, in which the application and the data is deployed, and the auditing user entity. The results of the proposed algorithm are highly satisfactory and demonstrates nearly 99% accuracy on data characteristics analysis, nearly 98% accuracy on user characteristics analysis and 100% accuracy on secure auditor selection process

<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 has given a bloom to the technical world by providing various services. Data storage is the essential factor for the users who are having or working with lots and lots of data. Cloud data storage becomes the only way to store and maintain the large data, which can be accessed from anywhere and anytime. The open nature of cloud computing leads to some security issues. With respect to the cloud data storage, the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) has to provide security for the data outsourced. Data owner will be concerned on the data correctness after outsourcing into the cloud. To verify the data correctness, ensuring the state of data at the cloud data storage is needed, which is performed with the help of a Trusted Third Party Auditor (TTPA). Data owner can also perform the verification task, but it leads to computation cost and communication costs in huge amount. This survey gives a brief on public auditing schemes to explore what are all the system models designed by various researchers.

The increasing popularity of cloud data storage and its ever-rising versatility, shows that cloud computing is one of the most widely excepted phenomena. It not only helps with powerful computing facilities but also reduce a huge amount of computational cost. And with such high demand for storage has raised the growth of the cloud service industry that provides an affordable, easy-to-use and remotely-accessible services. But like every other emerging technology it carries some inherent security risks associated and cloud storage is no exception. The prime reason behind it is that users have to blindly trust the third parties while storing the useful information, which may not work in the best of interest. Hence, to ensure the privacy of sensitive information is primarily important for any public, third-party cloud. In this paper, we mainly focus on proposing a secure cloud framework with encrypting sensitive data’s using AES-GCM cryptographic techniques in HEROKU cloud platform. Here we tried to implement Heroku as a cloud computing platform, used the AES-GCM algorithm and evaluate the performance of the said algorithm. Moreover, analyses the performance of AES/GCM execution time with respect to given inputs of data
