Evaluation of Proposed Secrete Sharing System based on Encryption for Distributed Cloud Data Security

Abstract

The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is deteriorating, partly due to a lack of comprehensive understanding of encryption mechanisms and also due to flaws in its execution. This paper presents a data storage methodology utilizing secret sharing techniques, which could address the challenges associated with PKI while accommodating innovative architectural designs incorporating features like automated failover and emergency data retrieval. The document introduces a framework which facilitating a cloud-based infrastructure with inherent privacy measures and failover capabilities. To evaluate the performance impact of secret sharing architecture, the paper describes a series of experiments exploring the overhead of this method.

This paper introduces a system architecture capable of implementing: a keyless encryption approach; automatic data expiration within a predefined timeframe; and emergency data retrieval with integrated failover mechanisms. It seeks to address various issues encountered in current Cloud-based infrastructures, such as key loss and inherent failover challenges. To evaluate the most suitable secret sharing method for this architecture, the document describes a variety of experiments examining the performance implications of the most pertinent secret sharing techniques.
