Enhancing Cloud Computing Security using AES Algorithm

Abstract

With the tremendous growth of sensitive information on cloud, cloud security is getting more important than even before. The cloud data and services reside in massively scalable data centers and can be accessed everywhere. The growth of the cloud users has unfortunately been accompanied with a growth in malicious activity in the cloud. More and more vulnerabilities are discovered, and nearly every day, new security advisories are published. Millions of users are surfing the Cloud for various purposes, therefore they need highly safe and persistent services. The future of cloud, especially in expanding the range of applications, involves a much deeper degree of privacy, and authentication. We propose a simple data protection model where data is encrypted using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) before it is launched in the cloud, thus ensuring data confidentiality and security.

Optimized Cloudlet Scheduling Based Method for Mobile Phones

“…The use of cyber foraging in the system requires the installation of alternative software like the spectra and chroma intended to facilitate offloads of the signals in the communication network anchored on cloudlet platform. The presence of a visual machine operates by copying, communication signals from the mobile gadget to the existing infrastructure through the dedicated cloud network [5].…”

A Hybrid Cryptographic Model for Data Storage in Mobile Cloud Computing

“…The security and privacy of user's data that is stored on cloud is one of the major issues needed to be resolved in MCC [12] because MCC users may store all confidential data in the cloud for either a short or long term usage with little or no control over it while a malicious mind in disguise of a cloud staff may access the confidential data, steal and pass it on to user's competitors [19]. Therefore, the security of the data in the cloud becomes a real issue.…”

Survey on Cloud Computing Security Algorithms

“…In [1], the Advance Encryption Standard is proposed for cloud Security. AES is a block cipher having block length of 128 bits.…”

“…The encryption process contains 10 rounds of processing for 128-bit keys. Except for the last round in each case, all other rounds are identical [1]. 16 byte encryption key, in the form of 4-byte words is expanded into a key schedule consisting of 44 4-byte words [6].…”

“…Some of the other focus areas will include data-loss detection and prevention, encryption, and authentication. As technologies aimed to support cloud computing mature [1]. Cloud computing is delivery for computing services over the Internet.…”
