An Encryption based Security Enhancer Tool for IaaS Applications in Cloud Computing

摘要

Now a days, Cloud computing has become an enormous and popular technology among many users and enterprises in various industries due to the high class service it is able to provide to its customers. But still there exists a set of concerns that bring down the reliability of cloud-based services restricting its popularity to a great extent. The industries as well as individuals are forced to keep their confidential documents and data away from the cloud because managing user identities in the clouds still continue as a paramount issue in this area. Scientists are meticulously working on the issue of security and privacy which are leading causes of impeding its development and are main hindrance to ensuring the reliability in cloud-based environments. Exhaustive research is going on in this area as part of which we propose a new method to improve the data security and authentication of a user in a cloud. This is a SaaS application that will completely empower a user to manage his content in the cloud based on two levels of authentication and with the help of two types of encryption. This method proves to be a good approach that will amplify the pace of security and reliability in the cloud computing environments without vitiating its current efficiency and scalability.
