Multi-Level Authentication Scheme for Improving Privacy and Security of Data in Decentralized Cloud Server

Abstract

In recent days cloud domain gains a lot of user attention in order to store and access the data from remote locations connected through the internet. As it is generally known that all the sensitive data come from remote locations will be stored in the centralized storage medium and then try to access the data from that centralized storage space controlled by the cloud server. It is facing a problem like there is no security for the data in terms of user authorization and data authentication from the centralized storage location. Hence, it is required to migrate for a new storage procedure like Decentralized storage of cloud data in which the systems that do not rely on a central authority, so that the collusion resistance can be avoided by maintaining a global identifier. Here, the term de-centralized access means granting multi authorities to control the access for providing more security for the sensitive data. The proposed research study attempts to develop a new scheme by adding a global identifier like Attribute Authority (AA) for providing access keys for the data users who wish to access the sensitive information from the cloud server. The proposed research work attempts to incorporate the composite order bilinear groups scheme for providing access facility for the data users and provide more security for the sensitive data. By conducting various experiments on the proposed model, the obtained result clearly tells that the proposed system is very efficient to access the data in a de-centralized manner by using a global identifier.
