Advanced Key Management System (AKMS) for Security in Public Clouds

摘要

Cloud computing has become an emerging model of information technology industry as it can be accessed anywhere in the world on a pay-per-use basis. However, one major problem it is facing in today's challenging world is the security issues. The various existing key generation and management systems are suffering with the security issues. Along with the security feature, the data sharing is also more important issue to be studied. Considering these two parameters, it is necessary to work on the secure data sharing in public clouds. For that purpose, we have proposed an advanced key management system (AKMS) which can perform identity-based encryption. Also, the proposed AKMS type encryption provides high security, scalability, and flexibility in the public clouds.
