Keeping Data Stored On The Cloud Storage System

We would like to provide the benefits of cloud computing without any troubles to propel in the direction it is designed for. This is to be achieved by preventing the owner's data from all risks associated and providing a cloud model that is more secure and efficient. The proposed model shall overcome the security risks defined by the security functions over cloud computing, as follows in (Passent M. et al., 2015):

User can store their data on cloud and reveal from the local data storage and its maintenance. Cloud is in a distributive in nature includes shared pool of configuring resources both in hardware and software. As an increasing number of clients who store their

Cloud storage is a new concept based on cloud computing, it is a model of data storage where the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spans multiple servers (and often locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company. These cloud storage providers are responsible for keeping the data available and accessible, and the physical environment protected and running. People and organizations buy or lease storage capacity from the providers to store user, organization, or application data. So cloud storage is a cloud computing system that aims on storing and managing data.

In the past few years cloud computing has become the latest mainstream technology for individuals and businesses(McDermott, 2009). Cloud defines the use of assembly of services, infrastructure, information and applications which are comprised of pools of network, compute, information and storage assets. The cloud is a centralized shared data storage network that enables an individual or business to be able to store personal data such as: personal files, images and videos etc.(Camp, 2009). It offers the convenience to be able to store personal data in one centralized location and allows easy access to the data even from a remote location by use of user assigned passwords and user login details. This concept may sound straight forward, easy and user friendly but cloud computing poses potential security threats that can possibly put the user’s privacy and security at risk in case another party is able to log in their account, resulting in an unsafe storage of their personal information. Users are assured that their data is safe and won’t be exploited, however the user does not have control where the data is being stored and cannot track precisely how well their data is being protected(McDermott, 2009). In most cases, users just rely on trust and confidence to their storage provider that they can be able to securely store their data and prevent unauthorized persons from accessing the data. This means users are unsure of who and what may be accessing their data and

Cloud computing emerge as a computational prototype as well as a sharing architecture and its main intention is to provide secure, quick, convenient data storage and net computing services and dispatched all

The ever growing need for the data in Information technology organizations has always lead to invent new services to meet the data needs, whether it is in the form of software, platform, hardware or storage. Cloud computing provides this services to organizations with cost effective methodologies like pay per service, network access, on-demand self-service. Organizations no more have to worry about storage overhead. This services has made huge impact on the organizations business process (Q. Wang, C.Wang, and Ren) (2011). At the same time with increase in technological services, the ever growing services are restricted due to security. Organizations use storage as a service to store their data remotely over cloud however the security of data is not guaranteed which leads to problems like data integrity, data availability, and data correctness. Various models has been proposed to address this data integrity concern over cloud (Chakraborty, Dhami, bansal), (2013).

Usage of remote servers via internet to store, manage and process data instead of using a personal computer is known as Cloud computing. It’s a set of Information Technology services with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements. Most of the cloud services are provided by a third party service provider. In cloud computing, organizations can utilize IT services without in advance investment. Despite its benefits obtained from the cloud computing, the organizations are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges. Security is one of the major problems which hinder the growth of cloud. It’s not wise to handing over the important data to another company; such that clients need to be vigilant in understanding the risks of data infringement in this new environment. This paper discusses a detailed analysis of the cloud computing security issues and challenges. (Ayoleke)

The sudden emergence of cloud storage has taken over organizations by storm. A recent study that was conducted, concluded that, the number of organizations using cloud storage has almost doubled in the last few years alone. And in addition, the public cloud service market will exceed $244 billion by 2017 (Baiju, 2014). Using the cloud can provide many competitive advantages for a business. This includes; usability, bandwidth, disaster recovery, and cost savings.

With the need for more storage and backup we are looking for a storage cloud. Cloud is a place where you have unlimited place to store your data. Any place you go, you are on a cloud until you have an internet access to your smart phone or smart devices. Cloud computing is a trending technology in every sector. It is a computing phase in which various remote servers are interacted. In this we have a centralized data storage system on a cloud based wed storage system where anyone who has internet or Wi-Fi can access those resources. The clouds are classified as public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud. Private cloud computing is only for a private organization which offers the solutions to the problems being requested. Private cloud computing is privatized by itself by having its own hardware including servers, VM’s, hosts, network and their storage and thus providing service to users.

Cloud computing is a virtual pool of resources and it provides these resources to users via internet. But it comes with few problems like data privacy, security and reliability etc. The most important problem in all these is security and privacy. Securing the cloud means protecting the databases. We are going to discuss about different security issues occurred in cloud and different cryptographic algorithms which are used to provide security. Due to cloud computing even though the user has minimum hardware requirement, the user can use the maximum capability of computing.

Abstract— Cloud Computing is an approach in the field of information technology which satisfies end user requirements for computing resources like services and applications. Security of access to critical and confidential information in banks, institutions etc. are extremely essential. We can improve security of data access in cloud computing using location based encryption and authentication.

The system consists of three main components. Data owner that can be organization basically exhibit sensitive data to be stored in cloud. An organization that offers services to customer from a remote facility connected via internet. A cloud service provider which control cloud server and distribute paid storing area on its framework to store the owner’s data. Cloud service provider that provide client storage along with public or private cloud. Authorized user these are group of owner’s client which have right to obtain the remote data.

Several types of cloud storage systems have been developed to supporting both personal and business uses. Cloud storage also a model of networked

The cloud is a data storage method that stores information on the iInternet rather than in a secure facility. Cloud data revolutionized the way companies store their information by making it easier to organize files from any location —, not just the office desktop. Suddenly CEO’s could work from Bermuda, having access to every file on the go.

It becomes a common thing that people have many devices as phone devices, laptops, personal computers, iPods and IPods. Further, they have images, videos, documents, music, files and so on, which are to be backed up and shared. Therefore, there is a need to
