Cryptographic Solution for Security Problem in Cloud Computing Storage During Global Pandemics

Abstract

Cloud computing has emerged as a potential substitute over traditional computing systems during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost all organizations shift their working from conventional ways to the online form of working. Most of the organizations are planning to permanently change some % of their work to online WFH (Work from Home) mode. There are numerous benefits of using cloud services in terms of cost, portability, platform independence, accessibility, elasticity, etc. But security is the biggest barrier when one wants to move towards cloud computing services, especially the cloud storage service. To overcome the problem of security in cloud storage systems, we have presented an approach for data security in cloud storage. The proposed approach uses the cryptographic methods and provides security and monitoring features to the user data stored in cloud storage systems. The proposed approach continuously monitors user’s data for any kind of modification by attackers. Thus, approach not only provides data security but also improves user’s trust on cloud based storage services.
