Enhancing the security of data in cloud computing environments using Remote Data Auditing

Abstract

The main aim of this report is to find how data security can be improved in a cloud environment using the remote data auditing technique. The research analysis of the existing journal articles that are peer-reviewed Q1 level of articles is selected to perform the analysis.The main taxonomy that is proposed in this project is being data, auditing, monitoring, and output i.e., DAMO taxonomy that is used and includes these components. The data component would include the type of data; the auditing would ensure the algorithm that would be used at the backend and the storage would include the type of database as single or the distributed server in which the data would be stored.As a result of this research, it would help understand how the data can be ensured to have the required level of privacy and security when the third-party database vendors would be used by the organizations to maintain their data. Since most of the organizations are looking to reduce their burden of the local level of data storage and to reduce the maintenance by the outsourcing of the cloud there are still many issues that occur when there comes the time to check if the data is accurate or not and to see if the data is stored with resilience. In such a case, there is a need to use the Remote Data Auditing techniques that are quite helpful to ensure that the data which is outsourced is reliable and maintained with integrity when the information is stored in the single or the distributed servers.
