Cloud storage service has the potential to be a core infrastructure for the future mobile and Internet service; thus related service providers have been investing in it and trying to attract as many users as possible. In addition, those need to find out what motivates the users to keep using their service not only to attract new customers but also to secure their subscribers. Therefore, this study will examine its relationship with user's motivation based on the extended TAM model with external variables for objective research about continuous use of cloud storage service. As a result, it was found that personal innovativeness, self efficacy, functional attributes, and psychological switching cost influence the continuous use of cloud storage service. Also, it is expected they can guide service providers to the right track when setting up their business strategy in the future.

사용자 기기가 다양해지고, 기기 간 데이터 동기화 필요성이 증대되면서, 클라우드 스토리지 서비스에 대한 수요가 증가되고 있다. 이러한 클라우드 스토리지 서비스는 클라우드 서버의 보안 취약점을 공격하거나, 악의적인 목적을 가진 관리자에 의한 데이터 유출 위협이 항상 내포되어 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 TPM을 기반으로 한 클라이언트에서의 데이터 암호화를 통해 이러한 문제점을 해결하고, 사용자의 다양한 기기들간의 데이터 이용을 안전하고 편리하게 할 수 있는 클라우드 스토리지 시스템을 제시한다.

모바일 디바이스의 사용이 활발해지면서 사용자들은 PC에서 사용하는 서비스를 모바일 디바이스로 사용하려고 한다. 모바일 디바이스는 PC에 비해 자원이 한정적이며, 이러한 문제를 클라우드 서비스를 통해 해결하고 있다. 특히 모바일 디바이스의 제한된 저장 공간을 클라우드 스토리지를 이용함으로서 저장공간에 대한 제한성을 해결한다. 하지만 중앙 집중형태로 저장되는 클라우드 스토리지의 보안문제는 아직도 현재 진행형이며, 네트워크상에 다양한 공격 위협으로부터 노출되어 있다. 본 연구에서 모바일 디바이스에서 클라우드 스토리지로 데이터를 저장 할 때 보안을 향상시킬 방법을 제안하고 일반 전송서버와 시간을 비교하였으며 실험을 통해 안정된 성능을 입증하였다.

A cloud service customer has no other way but to wait for his lost data to be recovered by the cloud service provider when the data was lost or not accessible for a while due to the provider's system failure, cracking attempt, malfunction, or outage. We consider a solution to address this problem that can be implemented in the cloud client's domain, rather than in the cloud service provider's domain. We propose a high level architecture and scheme for successfully retrieving data units even when several cloud storages are not accessible at the same time. The scheme is based on a clever way of partitioning and partial overlapping of data for being stored on multiple cloud storages. In addition to providing a high level of data availability, the scheme makes it possible to re-encrypt data units with new keys in a user transparent way, and can produce the complete log of every user's data units accessed, for assessing data disclosure, if needed.

The purpose of this research is to find individual user's preference for cloud storage service such as Daum Cloud, Naver N-Drive, GoogleDrive, Dropbox, SkyDrive and iCloud. Through literature reviewed and pilot tests, 6 attributes of cloud storage service (storage capacity, perceived cost, collaboration, accessibility, social influence and perceived security) were selected and all 6 attributes had significant effects on the preference of cloud storage service by conjoint analysis. The results shows that the user's willingness to pay is estimated 10,553 won for the free storage, 4,646 won for the function for mobile accessibility, and 2,443 won for more reliable cloud computing service provider. This study has significance to apply conjoint analysis with economic, technological, and environmental factors to cloud storage service (SaaS) and shed light on policy promotion of next generation of cloud computing ecosystem by user perception with willingness to pay on the storage service.

Openstack is an open source software that enables developers to build IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service) cloud platforms. Openstack can virtualize servers, networks and storages, and provide them to users. This paper proposes the structure of Openstack cloud storage system applying Infiniband to solve bottlenecking that may occur between server and storage nodes when the server performs an I/O operation. Furthermore, we implement all flash array based high-performance Cinder storage volumes which can be used at Nova virtual machines by applying distributed RAID-60 structures to three 8-bay SSD storages and show that Infiniband storage networks applied to Openstack is suitable for virtualizing high-performance storage.

In this work, we present a novel fountain code-based hybrid P2P storage system that combines cloud storage with P2P storage. The proposed hybrid storage system minimizes data transmission time while guaranteeing high data retrieval and data privacy. In order to guarantee data privacy and storage efficiency, the user transmits encoded data after performing fountain code-based encoding. Also, the proposed algorithm guarantees the user's data retrieval by storing the data while considering each peer's survival probability. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm enables fast completion of the upload transmission while satisfying the required data retrieval and supporting the privacy of user data under the system parameters.

The recent dissemination of cloud computing makes the amount of data storage to be increased and the cost of storing the data grow rapidly. Accordingly, data and service requests from users also increases the load on the cloud storage. There have been many works that tries to provide low-cost and high-performance schemes on distributed file systems. However, most of them have some weaknesses on performing parallel and random data accesses as well as data accesses of frequent small workloads. Recently, improving the performance of distributed file system based on caching technology is getting much attention. In this paper, we propose a CHPC(Cloud storage High-Performance Caching) framework, providing parallel caching, distributed caching, and proxy caching in distributed file systems. This study compares the proposed framework with existing cloud systems in regard to the reduction of the server's disk I/O, prevention of the server-side bottleneck, deduplication of the page caches in each client, and improvement of overall IOPS. As a results, we show some optimization possibilities on the cloud storage systems based on some evaluations and comparisons with other conventional methods.

클라우드 스토리지는 사용자의 요구 또는 데이터의 이용 추이에 따라 자원의 분배를 탄력적으로 제공함으로써 컴퓨팅 자원에 대한 효율적으로 관리가 가능하다. 이에 최근 다양한 서비스가 클라우드 스토리지를 제공하고 있으나, 개인적인 데이터를 소유자가 직접 관리하기 어려워 데이터의 보안성을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 클라우드 스토리지에 저장되는 데이터에 대하여 소유자만이 복호화가 가능하도록 프록시 재암호화를 이용하여 키를 분배하고 데이터를 관리하는 기법을 제안한다. 이를 통해 데이터의 보안성 및 제 3자에 의한 유출을 차단할 수 있다.
