Cloud computing is the latest approach that is developed for reducing the storage of space to store the data and helps the quick sharing of the data. An increase in the cloud computing users is observed that is also making the users be prone to hacker's attacks. To increase the efficiency of cloud storage encryption mechanisms are used. The encryption techniques that are discussed in this survey paper are searchable encryption, attribute-based, Identity-based encryption, homomorphic encryption, and cloud DES algorithms. There are several limitations and disadvantages of each of the given techniques and they are discussed in this survey paper. Techniques are found to be effective and they can increase the security of cloud storage systems.

Cloud computing is a technology for delivering information in which resources are retrieved from the internet through a web-based tools and applications, rather than a direct connection with the server. It is a new emerging computing based technology in which any individual or organization can remotely store or access the information. The structure of cloud computing allows to store and access various information as long as an electronic device has access to the web. Even though various merits are provided by the cloud from the cloud provides to cloud users, it suffers from various flaws in security. Due to these flaws, data integrity and confidentiality has become a challenging task for both the storage and retrieval process. This paper proposes a novel approach for data protection by an improved auditing based methodology in cloud computing especially in the process of cloud storage. The proposed methodology is proved to be more efficient in auditing the threats while storing data in the cloud computing architecture.

Cloud storage services are used for efficient sharing or synchronizing of user's data across multiple mobile devices. Although cloud storages provide flexibility and scalability in storing data, security issues should be handled. Currently, typical cloud storage services offer data encryption for security purpose but we think such method is not secure enough because managing encryption keys by software and identifying users by simple ID and password are main defectives of current cloud storage services. We propose a secure data access method to cloud storage in mobile environment. Our framework supports hardware-based key management, attestation on the client software integrity, and secure key sharing across the multiple devices. We implemented our prototype using ARM TrustZone and TPM Emulator which is running on secure world of the TrustZone environment.

클라우드 저장장치 가상화 환경에서는 기존의 컴퓨터 시스템 환경과는 다른 형태의 새로운 보안 취약점들이 발생하고 있으며, 기존의 보안 시스템으로는 이러한 보안위협요소들에 대해 적절한 대응이 어려우므로 기술적 해결 방안의 수립이 시급하다. 이를 위해서는 먼저 클라우드 저장장치 가상화 기술들을 상세하게 분석하고, 클라우드 저장장치 서비스를 이용하는 다양한 이해관계자들의 보안 요구사항을 조사하여, 보안 요구사항의 기술적 가이드라인에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 이에 본 논문은 클라우드 저장장치 가상화의 보안 요구사항 정의하고, 사용자 역할별 보안 요구사항과 시스템 계층별 보안 요구사항을 각각 도출하여 계층 및 역할별 보안 요구사항을 제안한다. 제안된 보안 요구사항은 가상화 보안 솔루션을 개발할 수 있는 기초를 제공할 것으로 예상된다.

Storage cloud scheme, pushing data to the storage cloud poses much attention regarding data confidentiality. With encryption concept, data accessibility is limited because of encrypted data. To secure storage system with high access power is complicated due to dispersed storage environment. In this paper, we propose a hardware-based security scheme such that a secure dispersed storage system using erasure code is articulated. We designed a hardware-based security scheme with data encoding operations and migration capabilities. Using TPM (Trusted Platform Module), the data integrity and security is evaluated and achieved.

In recent years, a cloud environment with the ability to detect illegal behaviours along with a secured data storage capability is much needed. This study presents a cloud storage framework, wherein a 128-bit encryption key has been generated by combining deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) cryptography and the Hill Cipher algorithm to make the framework unbreakable and ensure a better and secured distributed cloud storage environment. Moreover, the study proposes a DNA-based encryption technique, followed by a 256-bit secure socket layer (SSL) to secure data storage. The 256-bit SSL provides secured connections during data transmission. The data herein are classified based on different qualitative security parameters obtained using a specialized fuzzy-based classification technique. The model also has an additional advantage of being able to decide on selecting suitable storage servers from an existing pool of storage servers. A fuzzy-based technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model has been employed for this, which can decide on the set of suitable storage servers on which the data must be stored and results in a reduction in execution time by keeping up the level of security to an improved grade.

Cloud storage services have many advantages. As a result, the amount of data stored in the storage of the cloud service provider is increasing rapidly. This increase in demand forces cloud storage providers to apply deduplication technology for efficient use of storages. However, deduplication technology has inherent security and privacy concerns. Several schemes have been proposed to solve these problems, but there are still some vulnerabilities to well-known attacks on deduplication techniques. In this paper, we examine some of the existing schemes and analyze their security weaknesses.

Cloud storage provides an easy, cost-effective and reliable way of data management for users without the burden of local data storage and maintenance. Whereas, this new paradigm poses many challenges on integrity and privacy of users' data, since users losing grip on their data after outsourcing the data to the cloud server. In order to address these problems, recently, Worku et al. have proposed an efficient privacy-preserving public auditing scheme for cloud storage. However, in this paper, we point out the security flaw existing in the scheme. An adversary, who is on-line and active, is capable of modifying the outsourced data arbitrarily and avoiding the detection by exploiting the security flaw. To fix this security flaw, we further propose a secure and efficient privacy-preserving public auditing scheme, which makes up the security flaw of Worku et al.'s scheme while retaining all the features. Finally, we give a formal security proof and the performance analysis, they show the proposed scheme has much more advantages over the Worku et al.'s scheme.

The amount of Big Data generated from multiple sources is continuously increasing. Traditional storage methods lack the capacity for such massive amounts of data. Consequently, most organizations have shifted to the use of cloud storage as an alternative option to store Big Data. Despite the significant developments in cloud storage, it still faces many challenges, such as privacy and security concerns. This paper discusses Big Data, its challenges, and different classifications of security and privacy challenges. Furthermore, it proposes a new classification of Big Data security and privacy challenges and offers some perspectives to provide solutions to these challenges.
