Using Encryption Algorithms in Cloud Computing for Data Security and Privacy

Abstract

The As cloud computing emerges as a revolutionary paradigm in information technology, concerns surrounding usability, respectability, and, most prominently, security persist as major challenges. Despite the convenience and efficiency offered by cloud services, issues such as data protection, privacy, and overall security continue to impede the seamless adoption of this transformative technology.

This research delves into the pivotal aspect of cloud computing—data security and privacy, with a particular focus on cloud storage. With privacy standing at the forefront of user concerns, the study explores the efficacy of encryption algorithms in safeguarding sensitive information. Encryption, a well-established technology, serves as a crucial tool for securing data against unauthorized access and ensuring confidentiality.

The investigation centers around the implementation of a hybrid encryption approach, employing both public and private key encryption techniques. This combination aims not only to conceal sensitive user data but also to provide a robust mechanism for cipher text retrieval. The paper critically assesses the viability and effectiveness of utilizing encryption algorithms as a cornerstone for enhancing data security and privacy within the realm of cloud storage.

By addressing the persistent challenges of usability, respectability, and security in cloud computing, this research contributes to the ongoing discourse on fortifying the foundations of the next big frontier in information technology. Through an in-depth examination of encryption algorithms, this study aims to pave the way for more secure, trustworthy, and privacy-respecting cloud storage solutions.
