Cloud computing is now a widespread and economical option when data owners need to outsource or share their data. Designing secure and efficient data access control mechanism is one of the most challenging issues in cloud storage service. Anonymous broadcast encryption is a promising solution for its advantages in the respects of computation cost and communication overload. We bring forward an efficient anonymous identity-based broadcast encryption construction combined its application to the data access control mechanism in cloud storage service. The lengths for public parameters, user private key and ciphertext in the proposed scheme are all constant. Compared with the existing schemes, in terms of encrypting and decrypting computation cost, the construction of our scheme is more efficient. Furthermore, the proposed scheme is proved to achieve adaptive security against chosen-ciphertext attack adversaries in the standard model. Therefore, the proposed scheme is feasible for the system of data access control in cloud storage service.

Today, taking photos using smartphones has become an essential element of modern people. According to these social changes, modern people need a larger storage capacity, and the number of unnecessary photos has increased. To support the storage, cloud-based photo storage services from various platforms have appeared, and many people are using the services. As the number of photos increases, it is difficult for users to find the photos they want, and it takes a lot of time to organize. In this paper, we propose a cloud-based photo management service that facilitates photo management by classifying photos and recommending unnecessary photos using deep learning. The service provides the function of tagging photos by identifying what the subject is, the function of checking for wrongly taken photos, and the function of recommending similar photos. By using the proposed service, users can easily manage photos and use storage capacity efficiently.

Purpose: Nowadays, Mobile Cloud Storage services are used widely. For sustainable use of this service, we need to determine what factors affect satisfaction. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence satisfaction. Methods: To analyze factors that influence satisfaction, this study sets the factors into three dimensions such as service quality, perceived risk, and individual characteristics and analyze the causal relationship between influence factors and satisfaction through Structural Equation Model. Results: The results of this study are as follows; among service quality, user interface and reliability influenced satisfaction, but adaptability did not have any influence. Perceived risk of illegal access had a negative influence on satisfaction, while perceived risk of privacy leakage did not have significant influence on satisfaction in perceived risk. At last, self-efficacy had a significant influence on satisfaction. Conclusion: We identified the influence factors that influence satisfaction. Our findings will be necessary for Mobile Cloud Storage service providers to strengthen their service.

Recently, many internet users are using cloud computing. Users can manage, store and share their data and information by using personal cloud storage. In this paper, we aim to figure out influencing factors on personal cloud storage selection. The causal relationship between factors were identified through a importance analysis by using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process). AHP is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions, based on mathematics and psychology. Research model consists of upper factorsincluding system factor, service factor and user factor. 12 lower factors and 6 alternatives were also analyzed. Asa result, system factor of 3 upper factors was found as the most important factor. Purpose-coincidence, security andaccessibility were top 3 factors among lower factors. N drive showed top importance value. We also conducted ANOVAby classifying 4 groups according to gender, age, currently used cloud and cloud to use. The results of this researchcan be useful guidelines for cloud computing industry.

The increasing demand in promoting cloud computing in either business or other areas requires more security of a cloud storage system. Traditional cloud storage systems fail to protect data integrity information (DII), when the interactive messages between the client and the data storage server are sniffed. To protect DII and support public verifiability, we propose a data integrity verification scheme by deploying a designated confirmer signature DCS as a building block. The DCS scheme strikes the balance between public verifiable signatures and zero-knowledge proofs which can address disputes between the cloud storage server and any user, whoever acting as a malicious player during the two-round verification. In addition, our verification scheme remains blockless and stateless, which is important in conducting a secure and efficient cryptosystem. We perform security analysis and performance evaluation on our scheme, and compared with the existing schemes, the results show that our scheme is more secure and efficient.

The cloud storage service becomes a rising trend based on the cloud computing, which promotes the remote data integrity auditing a hot topic. Some research can audit the integrity and correctness of user data and solve the problem of user privacy leakage. However, these schemes cannot use fewer data blocks to achieve better auditing results. In this paper, we figure out that the random sampling used in most auditing schemes is not well apply to the problem of cloud service provider (CSP) deleting the data that users rarely use, and we adopt the probability proportionate to size sampling (PPS) to handle such situation. A new scheme named improving audit efficiency of remote data for cloud storage is designed. The proposed scheme supports the public auditing with fewer data blocks and constrains the server's malicious behavior to extend the auditing cycle. Compared with the relevant schemes, the experimental results show that the proposed scheme is more effective.

The term, eGovernmen or e-Government, uses technology communications devices such as computers and the Internet to provide public services to citizens and others. The eGovernment or e-government provides citizens with new opportunities to access the government directly and conveniently, while the government provides citizens with directservices. Also, in these days, cloud computing is a feature that enables users to use computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and on-demand computing power, without having to manage themselves. The term is commonly used to describe data centers that are available to many users over the Internet. Today, the dominant Big Cloud is distributed across multiple central servers. You can designate it as an Edge server if it is relatively close to the user. However, despite the prevalence of e-government and cloud computing, each of these concepts has evolved. Research attempts to combine these two concepts were not being made properly. For this reason, in this work, we aim to produce independent and objective analysis results by separating progress steps for the analysis of e-government cloud service platforms. This work will be done through an analysis of the development process and architectural composition of the e-government development standard framework and the cloud platform PaaS-TA. In addition, this study is expected to derive implications from an analysis perspective on the direction and service composition of the e-government cloud service platform currently being pursued.

As the cloud computing market grows, a variety of cloud services are now reliably delivered. Administrative agencies and public institutions of South Korea are transferring all their information systems to cloud systems. It is essential to develop security solutions in advance in order to safely operate cloud services, as protecting cloud services from misuse and malicious access by insiders and outsiders over the Internet is challenging. In this paper, we propose a zero trust model for cloud storage services that store sensitive data. We then verify the effectiveness of the proposed model by operating a cloud storage service. Memory, web, and network forensics are also performed to track access and usage of cloud users depending on the adoption of the zero trust model. As a cloud storage service, we use Amazon S3(Simple Storage Service) and deploy zero trust techniques such as access control lists and key management systems. In order to consider the different types of access to S3, furthermore, we generate service requests inside and outside AWS(Amazon Web Services) and then analyze the results of the zero trust techniques depending on the location of the service request.
