Cryptography approach for Secure Outsourced Data Storage in Cloud Environment (2306.08322v1)

Abstract: A large amount of data and applications are migrated by researchers, stakeholders, academia, and business organizations to the cloud environment due to its large variety of services, which involve the least maintenance cost, maximum flexibility, and on-demand service for storage, computation, and data distribution intentions. Despite the various characteristics the cloud environment supports, it also faces many challenges. However, data users may not completely trust a cloud environment that is engaged by a third party. Every cloud user always has a prime concern, i.e., security. Numerous methods have been designed to solve the issue of data security during data storage, calculation, and sharing across stakeholders and users. Nevertheless, there is a lack of existing methods that tackle the issue of the security of data when it is stored in a cloud environment. This article presents a precise security method that has handled the security of data while it is being shared and stored in the cloud. These methods have been utilized to lessen security assaults and prevent unauthorized parties from accessing the actual data. The article is concluded with some limitations and recommendations for the future in terms of secure data retention and distribution.
