Study on Cryptographic Algorithms for Cloud Data Security

Abstract

Cloud computing is a distributed computing paradigm in which computing resources, software, applications, information, and infrastructures are dynamically offered as services over the internet. Since distributed services are shared via the open network, the security of cloud data is required to be considered as a major issue in the cloud computing environment. Therefore, there is a need to protect cloud data against unauthorized accesses, or denial of service, modification, etc. To provide secure cloud data, cryptography can play as a technical control to address security issues undergone in cloud computing. In this paper, we have studied some of existing, wellknown cryptographic algorithms that are adoptable to provide better security of data in cloud computing.
