As the advent of computer has thrown light to the storage of massive data in small spaces the resources has been reduced broadly.Cloud computing in recent times has become a trend among organization to store data and retrieve it on-the-go around the globe.With this the data storage devices and data retrieval process arise a greater responsibility of security that should be provided to the client.This task provides a challenge to the service providers in terms of security and consistency.As shared systems are prone to be attacked, various counter measures have been proposed by experts to secure the stored data.In this work yet another efficient technique is introduced to the storage and retrieval process.Here the data is being encrypted by the advanced encryption algorithm which is considered to be the most competent in the present security scenario.A symmetric key is generated to the stored file.To further enhance the trust of the service provider the trust certificate of the company is being sent along with the keys to the client.The data is being encrypted by the AES-NI algorithm which is considered to be the most efficient up to date.A hash function is also generated to further enhance the security of the stored file.Also the trust of the service provider is provided to the client by sending the trust certificate of the company along with the keys to the client.All the communication process is taken place using the DH Key Exchange protocol.These techniques are performed to ensure the client that the stored data is being secured, integrated and a total control over the route in which the data is being communicated.In this research work, a new efficient technique is proposed which indicates the effectiveness, flexibility of the storage and retrieval process by a generic framework.This framework fills the gap between the security needs and challenges.
