Adaptive encrypted cloud storage model

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an adaptive model of data storage in a heterogeneous distributed cloud environment. Our system utilizes the methods of secret sharing schemes and error correction codes based on Redundant Residue Number System (RRNS). We consider data uploading, storing and downloading. To minimize data access, we use data transfer mechanism between cloud providers. We provide theoretical analysis and experimental evaluation of our scheme with six real data storage providers. We show how dynamic adaptive strategies not only increase security, reliability, and reduction of data redundancy but allow processing encrypted data. We also discuss potentials of this approach, and address methods for mitigating the risks of confidentiality, integrity, and availability associated with the loss of information, denial of access for a long time, and information leakage.
