A key component of cloud computing is cloud storage, which allows data to be stored on remote servers. The result is a reduction in the amount of storage space required on local devices, allowing data to be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. Furthermore, cloud storage is more secure than local storage due to the use of encryption and other security measures by professional providers. This is a practical and cost-effective solution to store large images required to be safeguarded from malicious black hat hackers. Images are the most valuable yet vulnerable form of data that can be used to track down user activities and taken advantage by hackers, used to commit identity theft, fraud. Issues concerning the security and privacy of images saved in the cloud have arisen as cloud storage has grown in popularity. The proposed method will focus on the encryption of images using a chaotic encryption scheme based on Pascal’s triangle. The user will authenticate their identity before uploading images to cloud storage and likewise confirm their authentication in the process of retrieval of an image. Such a secure system is better than traditional security methods for password settings as it cannot be easily stolen. Additionally, this method is more secure than other methods due to its complex encryption mechanisms, making it impossible to guess or steal the encryption key. In addition to providing extra security for sensitive images, biometric authentication will offer a stronger method of verifying and validating users on the cloud.
