A new algorithm suggested for audio file encryption and decryption utilizing integer wavelet transform to take advantage of the property for adaptive context-based lossless audio coding. In addition, biometrics are used to give a significant level of classification and unwavering quality because the procedure has numerous qualities and points of interest. The offered algorithm utilized many properties of hand geometry estimations as keys to encode and decode the audio file. Many tests were carried out on a set of audio files and quality metrics such as mean square error and correlations were calculated which in turn confirmed the efficiency and quality of the work.

Cloud computing" is a new technology that revolutionized the world of communications and information technologies. It collects a large number of possibilities, facilities, and developments, and uses the combining of various earlier inventions into something new and compelling. Despite all features of cloud computing, it faces big challenges in preserving data confidentiality and privacy. It has been subjected to numerous attacks and security breaches that have prompted people to hesitate to adopt it. This article provided comprehensive literature on the cloud computing concepts with a primary focus on the cloud computing security field, its top threats, and the protection against each one of them. Data security/privacy in the cloud environment is also discussed and homomorphic encryption (HE) was highlighted as a popular technique used to preserve the privacy of sensitive data in many applications of cloud computing. The article aimed to provide an adequate overview of both researchers and practitioners already working in the field of cloud computing security, and for those new in the field who are not yet fully equipped to understand the detailed and complex technical aspects of cloud computing.

A big challenge in privacy-preserving is found when trying is to share data while protecting the information of personally identifiable, such as phone numbers, email addresses, and biometric. The same challenges have appeared when keeping sensitive data remotely in complete privacy, without recognizing them from any unauthorized persons. In such cases, Homomorphic encryption is the highlight and considered the most suitable solution. The goal of this paper is to keep the privacy of the data stored in a database system using a new Chao-modification to the partial homomorphic encryption algorithm. It uses the chaotic system to scatter the symbols of plain data before direct them to the encryption algorithm. This will be appending an additional level of security to partial homomorphic encryption algorithms that helps them to be more resisting attacking.
