Abstract In the burgeoning epoch of big data, the imperative for secure computer network data storage is confronted with formidable challenges, including the perils of data breaches and a paucity of robust security measures. An enhanced storage paradigm, predicated upon a refined Hash algorithm—termed H-AONT—is herein delineated. This methodology augments data storage security through the formulation of an apposite system model, the amalgamation of the merits inherent in conventional encryption algorithms, and the deployment of the H-AONT dual encryption algorithm in data processing. Empirical evidence substantiates that, vis-à-vis alternative approaches, the proposed method significantly bolsters data More >

Abstract Task scheduling is one of the major problems with Internet of Things (IoT) cloud computing. The need for cloud storage has skyrocketed due to recent advancements in IoT-based technology. Sophisticated planning approaches are needed to load the IoT services onto cloud resources professionally while meeting application necessities. This is significant because, in order to optimise resource utilisation and reduce waiting times, several procedures must be properly configured on various virtual machines. Because of the diverse nature of IoT, scheduling various IoT application activities in a cloud-based computing architecture can be challenging. Fog cloud computing is… More >

Abstract Currently, there is a growing trend among users to store their data in the cloud. However, the cloud is vulnerable to persistent data corruption risks arising from equipment failures and hacker attacks. Additionally, when users perform file operations, the semantic integrity of the data can be compromised. Ensuring both data integrity and semantic correctness has become a critical issue that requires attention. We introduce a pioneering solution called Sec-Auditor, the first of its kind with the ability to verify data integrity and semantic correctness simultaneously, while maintaining a constant communication cost independent of the audited… More >

Abstract Cloud computing has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional computing infrastructures, offering various benefits. However, the adoption of cloud storage poses significant risks to data secrecy and integrity. This article presents an effective mechanism to preserve the secrecy and integrity of data stored on the public cloud by leveraging blockchain technology, smart contracts, and cryptographic primitives. The proposed approach utilizes a Solidity-based smart contract as an auditor for maintaining and verifying the integrity of outsourced data. To preserve data secrecy, symmetric encryption systems are employed to encrypt user data before outsourcing it. An extensive More >

Abstract When it comes to data storage, cloud computing and cloud storage providers play a critical role. The cloud data can be accessed from any location with an internet connection. Additionally, the risk of losing privacy when data is stored in a cloud environment is also increased. A variety of security techniques are employed in the cloud to enhance security. In this paper, we aim at maintaining the privacy of stored data in cloud environment by implementing block-based modelling to boost the privacy level with Anti-Codify Technique (ACoT) and block cipher-based algorithms. Initially, the cipher text… More >

Abstract Cloud storage is essential for managing user data to store and retrieve from the distributed data centre. The storage service is distributed as pay a service for accessing the size to collect the data. Due to the massive amount of data stored in the data centre containing similar information and file structures remaining in multi-copy, duplication leads to increase storage space. The potential deduplication system doesn’t make efficient data reduction because of inaccuracy in finding similar data analysis. It creates a complex nature to increase the storage consumption under cost. To resolve this problem, this… More >

Abstract To achieve the high availability of health data in erasure-coded cloud storage systems, the data update performance in erasure coding should be continuously optimized. However, the data update performance is often bottlenecked by the constrained cross-rack bandwidth. Various techniques have been proposed in the literature to improve network bandwidth efficiency, including delta transmission, relay, and batch update. These techniques were largely proposed individually previously, and in this work, we seek to use them jointly. To mitigate the cross-rack update traffic, we propose DXR-DU which builds on four valuable techniques: (i) delta transmission, (ii) XOR-based data More >

Abstract The sensitive data stored in the public cloud by privileged users, such as corporate companies and government agencies are highly vulnerable in the hands of cloud providers and hackers. The proposed Virtual Cloud Storage Architecture is primarily concerned with data integrity and confidentiality, as well as availability. To provide confidentiality and availability, the file to be stored in cloud storage should be encrypted using an auto-generated key and then encoded into distinct chunks. Hashing the encoded chunks ensured the file integrity, and a newly proposed Circular Shift Chunk Allocation technique was used to determine the… More >

Abstract As cloud storage systems have developed and been applied in complex environments, their data security has become more prevalent in recent years. The issue has been approached through many models. Data is encrypted and stored in these models. One of the most widely used encryption methods is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). In AES, the Substitution box(S-box) is playing a significant part in imparting the job of confusion. The security of the entire cryptosystem depends on its nonlinearity. In this work, a robust and secure S-box is constructed using a novel method, i.e., fingerprint features-based permutation… More >

Abstract The tremendous development of cloud computing with related technologies is an unexpected one. However, centralized cloud storage faces few challenges such as latency, storage, and packet drop in the network. Cloud storage gets more attention due to its huge data storage and ensures the security of secret information. Most of the developments in cloud storage have been positive except better cost model and effectiveness, but still data leakage in security are billion-dollar questions to consumers. Traditional data security techniques are usually based on cryptographic methods, but these approaches may not be able to withstand an… More >
