Effective Data Storage and Dynamic Data Auditing Scheme for Providing Distributed Services in Federated Cloud

Abstract

Recently, many organizations and industries are using the cloud computing technologies for exchanging the resources and their confidential data. For this purpose, many cloud services are available and also provide the facility to categorize their users as private and public users for accessing their own data from private cloud and public cloud. The combination of these two clouds is called federated cloud which facilitates to allow both kinds of cloud users for accessing their own data on same cloud database. In this scenario, the authorization and authentication process is becoming complex task on cloud. For providing the facility to access their own data only from federated cloud, a new secured data storage and retrieval algorithm called AES and Triple-DES-based Secured Storage and Retrieval Algorithm (ATDSRA) are proposed for storing the private and public cloud user’s data securely on cloud database. Here, the TDES is used for encrypting the input data, data merging and aggregation methods were used for grouping the encrypted input data. Moreover, a new dynamic data auditing scheme called CRT-based Dynamic Data Auditing Algorithm (CRTDDA) is proposed for conducting the cloud data auditing over the federated cloud and also restricting the data access. The proposed new auditing mechanism that is able to protect the stored data from access violence. In addition, the standard Table64 is used for encryption and decryption processes. The experimental results of this work proves the efficiency of the proposed model in terms of security level.
