MD5 and ECC Encryption based framework for Cloud Computing Services

Abstract

Cloud computing is emerging as a widely known paradigm in the field of computer science which initiates services like storing and accessing data over the internet instead of using computer's hard drives. There are also various services provided by cloud like Iaas, Paas and Saas. As the popularity of cloud increases, intruders have started to interrupt the process in order to access confidential file of various cloud users. There must exist a system to provide necessary features for security. To achieve security, cloud services uses various security principles like Confidentiality, access control, integrity, availability etc. In the current work all these principles are implemented in environment using algorithms like ECC to enhance the Confidentiality of data. In this scenario, MD5 maintains the Integrity of data at server side and access control is achieved by RBAC techniques. Hence the proposed architecture achieves the high level of security for the cloud environment.
