A Novel Approach for Client Side Encryption in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing has become the latest technological computing area providing a large number of advantage to the different organization with its different business model at low cost. Nevertheless, there is always a security concern when uploading sensitive data in the cloud server. Client-side encryption is a common and better solution for ensuring end users that a third party user cannot access the uploading data. Cloud service providers maintain different techniques to protect data but like google drive, most of the company do not use client- side encryption. In this paper, we propose a way to protect the data from hacking or losing when storing or uploading the data in the cloud server using the combination of Advanced Encryption Standard and Secure Hash Algorithm with Initial Vector.
