Securing Academic Student File Using Aes Algorithm For Cloud Storage Web-Based System

Abstract

Cloud storage is an innovative technology that provides storage services to users. Many universities or companies have recently started using cloud storage services and realised their importance. However, preserving data security control in cloud storage is an issue and a very challenging task to solve. To safeguard data stored in the cloud, this study presents a web-based system using encryption techniques to handle the security and privacy issue in cloud storage. File Encryption Cloud Storage (FECS) system is a web-based system that secures students' academic files in cloud storage using encryption techniques. The system can encrypt students' academic files in cloud storage to avoid unauthorised access and misused risk. The targeted users are students of Kolej University Poly-Tech MARA (KUPTM). Moreover, the JavaScript and PHP programming languages are employed to create this system in the Microsoft Visual Studio Code Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The MySQL database is used as the backend of the system. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) technique is employed in the system. Furthermore, the AES approach yielded a positive outcome in the system's development. The survey's results indicate that the system is valuable and helpful to KUPTM students.
