Implementation of Different Cyptographic Strategies in Cloud Environment

Abstract

Cloud computing is hosted technology used to deliver services over internet. These services are broadly classified based on type of hosting i.e. infrastructure, platform and software. Public environment and internet connectivity make it vulnerable and unsafe for communication and storage. Confidentiality is one of the major principles to keep data privacy and protection at high level. Cryptographic techniques are used to achieve confidentiality and integrity of information during unsafe communication. This research paper observes that various cryptographic algorithms known as symmetric key cryptography and asymmetric key cryptography can be used to protect information and make it unreadable for unauthorised users. This research paper implements different security algorithms and observe their performance based on computation time over different input sizes. The complete research work concludes a comparative study and recommends different security approaches for different situations.
