Ensuring Cloud Data Security Using Public Auditing with Privacy Preserving

The Cloud computing in simple terms is storing and accessing data through internet. The data stored in the cloud is managed by cloud service providers. Storing data in cloud saves users time and memory. But once user stores data in cloud, he loses the control over his data. Hence there must be some security issues to be handled to keep users data safely in the cloud. In this work, we projected a secure auditing system using Third Party Auditor (TPA). We used Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm for encrypting user's data and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-2) to compute message digest. The system is executed in Amazon EC2 cloud by creating windows server instance. The results obtained demonstrates that our proposed work is safe and takes a firm time to audit the files.
