Multi-layer encryption algorithm for data integrity in cloud computing

Abstract

The Internet revolution has changed all aspects of our life, accessing and surfing the Internet is becoming as necessity in our life to obtain any kind of information needed, that produces a huge quantity of data available any time, any where. The greater the facilities, less our data privacy. For that maintaining data confidentiality and integrity in the Internet and cloud world is a primary requirement to continue working and using these facilities. In this paper, we propose a security mechanism that makes accessing the data from unauthorized persons more complex. Our mechanism easy to implement and understand but is complex to decrypt because it works in three levels in each level is used a new encryption key generated randomly and in each level is used a different encryption algorithm. Our results show that the encryption/decryption process time is increased linearly with the text size for the authorized persons and is increased exponentially for unauthorized persons.
