DESIGN OF PRIVACY MODEL FOR STORING FILES ON CLOUD STORAGE
Ambika Pawar, Ajay R. Dani · 2014
Cloud Storages like Google drive, Dropbox are popular for personal and institutional file storage. Cloud storage is beneficial in terms of scalability, availability and economy. But cloud storage has privacy challenges due to which many users are reluctant to use it for personal data storage. Storage of personal or sensitive files should be done carefully. Since cloud storage is third party storage and also has many other possibilities like files can be shifted from one server to another cloud server. Cloud storage needs special solution than traditional third party storages. The data can be encrypted for security purpose but this will further raises issues like key management and key distribution. Encryption also requires more computation cost and time on client/user. This paper introduces the design of novel privacy model for storing files in cloud storage, proposes architecture and algorithms for cloud storage. Paper also discusses about the proof of privacy and proposed system’s performance evaluation parameters for future work.
