Title:
Data Security in Cloud Architecture Based on Diffie Hellman and Elliptical Curve Cryptography
Authors: Neha tirthani, Ganesan R
Abstract:Technological advancements in cloud computing due to increased connectivity and exponentially proliferating data has resulted in migration towards cloud architecture. Cloud computing is technology where the users’ can use high end services in form of software that reside on different servers and access data from all over the world. Cloud storage enables users to access and store their data anywhere. It also ensures optimal usage of the available resources. There is no need for the user to maintain the overhead of hardware and software costs. With a promising technology like this, it certainly abdicates users’ privacy, putting new security threats towards the certitude of data in cloud. The user relies entirely for his data protection on the cloud providers, making them solely responsible for safeguarding it. The security threats such as maintenance of data integrity, data hiding and data safety dominate our concerns when the issue of cloud security come up. The voluminous data and time consuming encryption calculations related to applying any encryption method have been proved as a hindrance in this field. In this research paper, we have contemplated a design for cloud architecture which ensures secured movement of data at client and server end. We have used the non breakability of Elliptic curve cryptography for data encryption and Diffie Hellman Key Exchange mechanism for connection establishment. The proposed encryption mechanism uses the combination of linear and elliptical cryptography methods. It has three security checkpoints: authentication, key generation and encryption of data.
