Security in a networked environment, especially in cloud computing, is the hottest field that is attracting several research communities. Storage of data and security using standard cryptographic algorithms has become an important topic of discussion and research. Cloud computing moves the software and databases to data centers that are not trustworthy. Also, cloud storage faces many new security challenges that need more attention. The major threats of data security in cloud storage arise out of scheduling the computing resources using network, storage and retrieval of data. In this paper, we suggest a framework that enhances data security in the cloud storage system. We use Unicode, colors and private keys to develop a new and simple method that ensures secure storage of data in the cloud.
