Cloud computing (CC) is a technology that delivers its service by means of the internet. In the modern scenario, cloud storage services have gained attention. The cloud environment confronts data breaches expansively in cloud storage, which might bring about the disclosure of personal in addition to corporate data. Thus, the requirement arises for the creation of a more foremost authentication system. Customary authentication schemes depend on techniques, like Password Authentications Protocol (PAP), Challenge Handshakes Authentication Protocols (CHAP), as well as One-Time Pads (OTP), which are often susceptible to malevolent attacks as well as security threats. To shun such issues, this paper proposed a Modified ECC centred secure data transfer and a ‘3’-factor authentication scheme in the untrusted cloud environment. The proposed work comprises ‘3’ steps: authentication, data compression, and safe data transfer. In the authentication phase, the SHA-512 algorithm along with CCP is utilized. After that, the user-uploaded data is compressed utilizing CHA on the server-side. Next, MECC encrypts the compressed data, and then, safely uploaded it to the cloud server (CS). In the investigational appraisal, the proposed work is contrasted with the prevailing methods. The outcomes proved that the proposed work renders better security than the prevailing methods.

Cloud Computing has been envisioned as the next-generation architecture of IT Enterprise. It moves the application software and databases to the centralized large data centers, where the management of the data and services may not be fully trustworthy. This unique paradigm brings about many new security challenges, which have not been well understood. This work studies the problem of ensuring the integrity of data storage in Cloud Computing. In particular, we consider the task of allowing a threshold proxy re-encryption, on behalf of the cloud client, to verify the integrity of the dynamic data stored in the cloud. The introduction of TPA eliminates the involvement of the client through the auditing of whether his data stored in the cloud are indeed intact, which can be important in achieving economies of scale for Cloud Computing. The distributed storage system not only supports secure and robust data storage and retrieval, but also lets a user forward his data in the storage servers to another user without retrieving the data back, since services in Cloud Computing are not limited to archive or backup data only. While prior works on ensuring remote data integrity often lacks the support of either public Audit ability or dynamic data operations, this paper achieves both. We first identify the difficulties and potential security problems of direct extensions with fully dynamic data updates from prior works and then show how to construct an elegant verification scheme for the seamless integration of these two salient features in our protocol design A decentralized erasure code is an erasure code that independently computes each code word symbol for a message, where TPA can perform multiple auditing tasks simultaneously. Extensive security and performance analysis show that the proposed schemes are highly efficient and provably secure.
