Security in Cloud Computing using Cryptographic Algorithms

Abstract

The cloud is a next generation platform that provides dynamic resource pools, virtualization and high availability. Since cloud computing rests on internet, security issues like privacy, data security, confidentiality and authentication is encountered. In order to get rid of the same, a variety of encryption algorithms and mechanisms are used in different combinations. On the similar terms, we chose to make use of multilevel encryption with the use of hybrid cryptographic algorithms to enhance the security of data on cloud. We aimed at analyzing different combinations of encryption algorithms, on the basis of different performance parameters to deduce a hybrid algorithm which can secure data more efficiently on cloud.
