With the fast development of internet, cloud computing has become the most demanded technology used all over the world. Cloud computing facilitates its consumers by providing virtual resources via internet. One of the prominent services offered in cloud computing is cloud storage. The rapid growth of cloud computing also increases severe security concerns to cloud storage. In this paper, we propose a scheme which allows users not only securely store and access data in the cloud, but also share data with multiple users in a secured way via unsecured internet. We use ECC for cryptography and authentication operation which makes the scheme work in a more efficient way.

The rapid growth of ubiquitous technology has increased the demand of storage capacity in mobile computing. iSCSI(Internet Small Computer Interface), a virtual storage protocol would be one of the possible solutions to resolve this problem. However, the insecure nature of this protocol makes it vulnerable to malicious attacks. In this paper, we aims to design and propose a new secure lightweight iSCSI-based virtual storage scheme for mobile devices. Suitable security mechanisms are considered in the design of our proposed solution in order to overcome existing security problems in iSCSI. Relevant experiments are tarried out and the results revealed that the efficiency of proposed algorithm in which it introduces over 100% Read/Write performance improvement compared with the IPsec approach.

USB flash drive와 같은 이동형 저장매체는 한 손에 쏙 들어오는 작은 크기와 가벼운 무게로 뛰어난 휴대성을 제공하고 있다. 많은 사용자들은 자신의 데이터를 저장하기 위해 고용량을 제공하는 이동형 저장매체에 관심을 보이고 있다. 하지만 이동형 저장매체는 휴대성으로 인한 도난 및 분실당할수 있다. 개인 정보가 유출되는 등의 많은 문제들이 발생하고 있다. 인터넷의 발달과 클라우드 컴퓨팅 붐을 통하여 이동형 저장매체의 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 클라우드 스토리지 서비스가 급증하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 클라우드 스토리지 서비스는 인터넷이 가지고 있는 취약성 및 서버와 서버의 관리자의 비신뢰성 등의 문제를 가지고 있으며, 이로 인한 몇몇 사고가 발생하였다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 클라우드 스토리지 환경에서는 데이터를 암호화 저장하고 이를 복호화 과정 없이 검색할 수 있는 검색 가능한 암호 기술의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 검색가능 암호 기술은 사용자가 저장하고자 하는 데이터를 직접 업로드하고, 해당 자료를 필요에 따라 공유 하고, 공유대상이 변화되는 클라우드 스토리지 환경에서 비효율성을 가지고 있어 실제 서비스에 적용하기 힘든 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경을 고려하여 검색가능한 암호화 색인 생성 및 이를 재암호화를 통해 다른 사용자와 안전하게 공유할 수 있는 검색가능한 재 암호화 시스템을 제안한다.

In cloud storage, processing the duplicated data, namely deduplication, is necessary technology to save storage space. Users who store sensitive data in remote storage want data be encrypted. However Cloud storage server do not detect duplication of conventionally encrypted data. To solve this problem, Convergent Encryption has been proposed. But it inherently have weakness due to brute-force attack. On the other hand, to save storage space as well as save bandwidths, client-side deduplication have been applied. Recently, various client-side deduplication technology has been proposed. However, this propositions still cannot solve the security problem. In this paper, we suggest a secure source-based deduplication technology, which encrypt data to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive data and apply proofs of ownership protocol to control access to the data, from curious cloud server and malicious user.

In cloud storage environment, deduplication enables efficient use of the storage. Also, in order to save network bandwidth, cloud storage service provider has introduced client-side deduplication. Cloud storage service users want to upload encrypted data to ensure confidentiality. However, common encryption method cannot be combined with deduplication, because each user uses a different private key. Also, client-side deduplication can be vulnerable to security threats because file tag replaces the entire file. Recently, proof of ownership schemes have suggested to remedy the vulnerabilities of client-side deduplication. Nevertheless, client-side deduplication over encrypted data still causes problems in efficiency and security. In this paper, we propose a secure and practical client-side encrypted data deduplication scheme that has resilience to brute force attack and performs proof of ownership over encrypted data.

A mobile device accesses large-sized data in object-based IP storage as an object unit over IP network. It relies heavily on a WLAN device, which has been known as one of the major power consumers. This paper designs and implements low-power object-based IP storage for mobile devices using an efficient WLAN power control. The proposed WLAN power control exploits prefetch buffer to maximize the idleness for incoming network traffic and controls available WLAN power modes to minimize the power consumption. Our experimental results reveal that the proposed WLAN control can save the total power consumption in a PXA270-based mobile device about 9% while playing the multimedia contents through an object-based IP storage device

With the rapid growth of semiconductor technologies, small-sized devices with powerful computing abilities are becoming a reality. As this environment has a limit on power supply, NVM storage that has a high density and low power consumption is preferred to HDD or SSD. However, legacy software layers optimized for HDDs should be revisited. Specifically, as storage performance approaches DRAM performance, existing I/O mechanisms and software configurations should be reassessed. This paper explores the challenges and implications of using NVM storage with a broad range of experiments. We measure the performance of a system with NVM storage emulated by DRAM with proper timing parameters and compare it with that of HDD storage environments under various configurations. Our experimental results show that even with storage as fast as DRAM, the performance gain is not large for read operations as current I/O mechanisms do a good job hiding the slow performance of HDD. To assess the potential benefit of fast storage media, we change various I/O configurations and perform experiments to quantify the effects of existing I/O mechanisms such as buffer caching, read-ahead, synchronous I/O, direct I/O, block I/O, and byte-addressable I/O on systems with NVM storage.

Recent cloud infrastructures provide competitive performances and operation costs for many internet services through pay-per-use model. Particularly, object storages are highlighted, as they have unlimited file holding capacity and allow users to access the stored files anytime and anywhere. Several lines of research are based on cloud-backed file systems, which support traditional POSIX interface rather than RESTful APIs via HTTP. However, these existing file systems handle all files with uniform size backing objects. Consequently, the accesses to cloud object storages are likely to be inefficient. In our research, files are profiled according to characteristics, and appropriate backing unit sizes are determined. We experimentally verify that different backing unit sizes for the object storage improve the performance of cloud-backed file systems. In our comparative experiments with S3QL, our prototype cloud-backed file system shows faster performance by 18.6% on average.
