Cloud computing: A study of mechanism and cloud cryptography

Abstract

Cloud Computing is the on-demand delivery of computing services, databases, storage, applications, networking, and many more through the internet. Cloud Computing technology refers to pay-as-you-go pricing. The cloud delivers a hosting environment that is immediate, flexible, scalable, secure, and available which saves enterprise money, time, and resources. As we are going to use the internet services, security is the major factor to be taken into consideration. Cloud cryptography is a way through which we can secure our data on the internet. Cryptography adds several layers of protection to avoid breaching, hacking, or getting affected by malware. So in this survey, we are going to study the mechanism of cloud computing and how the activities on the cloud can be secured over the internet.In comparison to private clouds, which can scale effortlessly and on-demand, the public cloud has a massive infrastructure. IaaS is a method of delivering cloud-computing infrastructures such as servers, storage, networks, and operating systems to customers. Customers can get on-demand access to materials here. Cloud cryptography is a type of encryption that employs a number of algorithms to turn plain text into cipher text. Because symmetric cryptography is substantially faster than asymmetric cryptography, it is ideally suited for bulk data encryption.Using a single key, this technique enables data authentication and permission. The strength of an asymmetric key in assuring the security of information supplied during transmission is significantly greater.
