Abstract

Rapidly growing information technology and connectivity to the internet in all forms of hand-held devices to mainframe computers of bigger organizations have one important need and that is connectivity to source of data and internet from any location possible in a secure and dependable manner. The cloud computing comes to us as a solution to that craving need which is in vogue in the IT industries today. Its multiple features which addresses secure data storage, provision of infrastructure on demand and scaling as and when required, provision of platform and software as a service to the clients is one of the most striking features. Our focus regarding cloud computing is strictly concentrated on the dependability, reliability, data integrity and security of the data stored in the cloud. Shamir's secret sharing algorithm is the main method that we have found very intuitively useful for the purpose. It is again padded with extra security layer by using HMAC signature hashing method. Our concept of securing the data makes such an attractive sandwich of security to data that it will be in a systematic way of positive discussion for sure.
