Improved Encryption Towards Data Security in Serverless Computing

Abstract

Serverless computing is growing rapidly due to its rapid adoption by the cloud providers and tenants in terms of its scalability, elasticity, flexibility and ease of deployment. Such increase in deployment of serverless computing makes the research to rethink on its security aspects. Since, the serverless security computing may undergo problems due to malicious users or hackers. In this paper, a secure and an efficient access control system is designed for serverless security computing for both knowledge and resource sharing using attributed based encryption. Initially, the data is encrypted using user attributes; further the data is split into cipher text. It is finally decrypted using a decryption algorithm and then the shares of the cipher text are distributed in the network and the encapsulated texts are stored in the serverless system. The performance on security analysis shows that the proposed method achieves improved data security in serverless environment than the existing methods.
