Single Cloud Security Enhancement using key Sharing Algorithm

Abstract

The use of Cloud Computing (CC) has increased rapidly in many institutions. Few of the advantages of CC is cloud data storage, where the customers do not have to store their data on their remote servers, but the data is stored on the cloud service provider’s (CSP) side. To this end, security in Cloud computing is taken to be one of the most important aspects due to the sensitive and confidential information stored in the remote database(cloud) by the users. Our paper signifies a model to securely store information into the cloud in a manner that preserves data confidentiality, integrity and ensures availability. Our approach ensures the security and privacy of client sensitive information by storing data across single cloud, using a secret sharing approach that uses Shamir’s secret sharing key algorithm. The model avoids an unauthorized access and reduces the consequences of encryption techniques.
